CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Attorney General Patrick Morrisey warns West Virginians impacted by the floods in July to be cautious when hiring contractors for repairs.
“As many families work to restore their lives after July’s flood, it’s important to remember that some who offer help may have ill intent,” Morrisey said. “Scammers often prey upon those already facing hardships. That’s why it is important to cautiously research any contractor to make sure you don’t get ripped off.”
All too often, the money is paid, but the work is not completed.
The Attorney General’s Office also remains on guard for price gouging violations.
