Scammers Targeting Disaster Victims: How to Stay Safe and Avoid Fraud





Natural disasters can be devastating. At the very least they create inconvenience. They also bring out scammers hoping to profit off the impacted victims. Not everyone who rushes in after a disaster is there to help.?

Con artists will pose as government agencies or official disaster-aid workers. Falling for scams can create financial chaos on top of having to deal with the after-effects of the disaster. Always know who you are dealing with before providing personal or financial information.?

"*Be aware of:*"


* Imposter Scams (government or insurance)
* Price Gouging
* Home Repair Scams
* State or Federal Aid Scams
* Donation and Charity Scams

For more information on scams following a disaster, read ?After the Disaster Scams." [ [link removed] ]?
