Department of Justice Warns on Possibility of Fraud After Hurricane Ian
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is warning people to be aware of potential fraud in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
The DOJ’s National Center for Disaster Fraud said Friday that there is no reason to believe that criminals will slow down their efforts to defraud those already suffering from the storm.
The center said in a DOJ release that people should be aware of fraudulent activities like fake charities immediately soliciting donations using the names of well-known charities and people overcharging for goods and services that hurricane victims need.
