Memo's from The President of Superior Windows & Doors

The Oregon Remodelers Association recently contacted our local Home Builders Association of Jackson County to let them know there are scammers afoot, contacting Oregon Contractors with the following:

"We have received information from the CCB and the Oregon Dept. of Justice regarding a possible scam directed at contractors in which a caller represents to Oregon contractors and firms that those firms have been pre-qualified to receive federal stimulus moneys if the firms will fork over to the caller a significant sum of money. The caller even represents that the target contractor is eligible to receive a specified amount of the federal money - in one instance, $135,000 was promised. According to the information, the solicitor may call itself Corporate Capital Team Inc., ostensibly out of Henderson, Nevada. Its telephone number may be (888) 216-9445, ext. 262 and someone named "Duane" responds to the calls. If you receive any such calls or know of others who have, please report that information promptly to the ORA office. You will also find a link on the CCB website under Current Topics that takes you to Oregon's Stimulus & Reinvestment Info. This resource will assist you with information related to stimulus package funding, and help you determine if a program or caller is legitimate or not."

So, Oregon Contractors and those who know Oregon Contractors that may be targeted like this, please get the word out there and prevent these alleged scammers from taking advantage of anyone else.
