Better Business Bureau Warns Consumers Against Storm Related Scams

The Better Business Bureau is reminding people to research contractors who might approach those with damages in the aftermath of these storms. “So BBB is warning our consumers to be on the lookout for storms chasing scammers in the aftermath of the storm. We often see these types of scams pop up in the aftermath of destructive and severe weather. So if you do have property damage that you’re looking to get repaired, we strongly advise you to research any contractor you hire first. Make sure you get at least three to four quotes from contractors. Take your time to find someone you can trust, get a written contract that specifies the price and the work to be done. And turn away or avoid any high-pressure tactics such as someone trying to demand payment up front or a high down payment up front,” said Spokesperson Whitney Adkins. You can research contractors at BBB.org to see if they have ratings or reports against them.
