If I understand the original problem correctly it was that many home owners were getting free roofs regardless of age because these roving salesmen were offering free inspections which usually resulted in an insurance claim. The scam was that the problem found may not have met the criteria for a roof replacement but the litigation costs were so high that it was cheaper for the insurance company to just capitulate. The owners who got a free roof weren't scammed but naturally there was a negative consequence which was higher rates for all. If there is a better explanation please elaborate.

I don't intend to have a roof inspection, free or not, unless there is an obvious reason for one.
