Dent and Repair scammers in Lake Forest Park

Tuesday evening, an alert citizen was contacted by two suspicious men attempting to pull a dent and fix-it scam for her vehicle. She correctly saw the scam and called 911 right away.

When police arrived into the neighborhood, contact was made with the suspects who were identified and removed.

Dent repair scammers typically target the elderly in store parking lots, charging hundreds of dollars to “fix” dents in their vehicles. When the “repair” is completed, the victim is often left with even more damage to their vehicle than before.
