Unfortunately, after a disaster can be a time when scam artists and unscrupulous people may try to take advantage of victims and the generosity of the community. The Sonoma County Office of the District Attorney has put out some information on their Consumer Alerts page regarding “Wildfire Disaster – Price Gouging and Disaster Scams“. It includes information about filing a complaint.
Please also be aware of individuals posing as government representatives and seeking personal information, such as your social security or bank account information.
