| "Bishop" Regis Bernard Scarbrough, Sr. (age 43, of Birmingham, AL) |
Sheriff Donny Turner announces that an arrest has been made as a result of an alleged roofing scam. According to Troup County Investigators, the founder of HHC (Heavenly Hands for Christ) Shingling would solicit victims by placing various signs in specific neighborhoods advertizing “Free Roofing”.
As potential victims would call the business line attached to the signs, “Bishop” Regis Scarbrough, Sr. would advise them to file an insurance claim for the repair work to be done. An adjuster would then be dispatched to assess the damages and, in turn, send a check to the victims in order for the repairs to be made.
Once the check has arrived in the victims’ possession, the “Bishop” would visit the residence and pray with the family; then, take the victims to the bank and deposit the check. The “Bishop” would then have the victims’ cut a personal check (made out to the HHC roofing business), and leave with the victims’ check (valued at over $1,500.00) without performing any repair work on their residence.
After several days without response, or resolution, the victims finally notify authorities to file a report for Theft by Taking. “Bishop” Regis Bernard Scarbrough, Sr. has been arrested and charged with Felony Theft by Taking. There is the possibility that more charges could follow.
The cases of Theft that Investigators are presently aware of may not be the only cases of Theft, resulting from this scam. The scam apparently targeted, primarily, senior citizens. Troup County Sheriff Donny Turner asks that, if you believe you have also been targeted as a victim in this scam, you should call (706)883-1616 and speak with an Investigator.
