FEMA Warns of Disaster-Related Fraud Schemes
Officials urge survivors to watch for scams targeting disaster assistance
The Altadena Sheriff’s Station is sharing Federal Emergency Management Agency guidance about potential fraud targeting disaster survivors through fraudulent applications and schemes.
After a disaster, scam artists often attempt to take advantage of disaster survivors, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency guidance shared by the Altadena Sheriff’s Station.
Individuals who suspect their personal information has been used for fraudulent Federal Emergency Management Agency applications can report it to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Investigations and Inspections Division at StopFEMAFraud@fema.dhs.gov or (866)223-0814.
Reports can also be submitted to the Department of Justice’s National Center for Disaster Fraud at 866-720-5721.
Additional information about disaster fraud is available at fema.gov/disaster-fraud.
