After finishing the job, they request up to triple the original quote.

Deputies said they also try to scare people into paying them.

"They call the guy 'the enforcer,' a bigger guy that's coming around. I guess he's trying to use intimidation factor to get these people to pay," Jimmy Brewer of the Pottawatomie County sheriff's office said.

News 9 was told the scammers have Louisiana tags.

Anyone with information or questions can call the sheriff's office at (405) 273-1727.
