Insurance Scammers Move In On Hurricane Matthew Victims

Shell-shocked, emotionally distraught and displaced from their homes, the victims of Hurricane Matthew have clearly been through more than most of us dare to imagine. However, now their plight is being made all the worse by a series of scam artists bringing a bad name to the insurance industry. The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FLOIR) has issued a statement to residents asking them to be “cautious of repair deals that sound too good to be true”, while also asking contractors and insurance professionals to show their credentials when dealing with victims so they know they are not being scammed.
