Sandy Scams

Unfortunately, there are people out there who are more than eager to take advantage of the victims of Hurricane Sandy, including fake charitable organizations. You can check out the validity of a charity by visiting the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org . To report a fraudulent charity, contact the FBI and National Center for Disaster Fraud’s hotline at 866-720-5721.
Also, beware of any scam clean-up contractors who contact you offering to remove debris, including trees, from your property. For tips on how to determine the legitimacy of the contractor, visit the consumer website www.scambusters.org
