(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson issued the following statement cautioning consumers to be on the lookout for storm-related scams:
“In times of disaster, Ohioans have plenty to worry about. They don’t need fraudsters trying to capitalize on their misfortune. Those who do will be held accountable.”
Storms across Ohio in recent days have brought high winds and several inches of rain, causing flooding and damage to residences and property. These storms may create a vulnerable time for Ohioans in need of home-repair contractors.
The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section publishes this guide to help Ohioans avoid storm-related scams.
Consumers can file or search consumer complaints online at OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.
