Protect Yourself from Scams and Fraud

Unfortunately, disasters can bring out scammers looking to take advantage of those in crisis. Here’s how to stay safe:

  • Verify your insurance steps: Contact your insurance company to confirm what’s needed for claims processing.
  • Beware of clean-up scams: Always check references and look up reviews on bbb.org before hiring contractors.
  • Rental scams: Be cautious of fake rental listings offering housing that doesn’t exist.
  • Guard your personal information: Never provide Social Security numbers or financial details to unverified individuals. Government agencies will never ask for money in exchange for aid.
  • Replace lost documents: If you’ve lost ID, bank cards, or important records, visit usa.gov/replace-vital-documents for guidance.
  • Financial hardship? Contact creditors: If you anticipate delayed payments, reach out to creditors to request hardship assistance.
