Central Florida resident Robert Feeney was approached three times by the same roofing company offering a “free” roof inspection and a low-cost replacement. Feeney wisely declined the offer, which is exactly what CFO Jimmy Patronis advises other Floridians to do. “And this is why we just preach to people: do not sign anything,” Patronis said. “Anytime you sign a document related to damage or insurance, you could be giving your claim to a stranger at your doorstep who then has the power to bill the insurance company whatever amount they want, ultimately consuming all of the cash benefits that the policyholder is entitled to.”
