Hurricanes—New Fraud Prevention PSA Available

Hurricanes often wreak havoc across wide stretches of land, leaving untold numbers of homeowners to the daunting task of rebuilding their homes and lives. Unfortunately, following disasters, deceitful contractors descend on the region looking to make a quick buck off victims. Homeowners, undergoing the stresses and strains common after losing a home, often fall prey to these well-rehearsed predatory schemes, slowing the recovery process.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau is the nation’s leading not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting insurance fraud, and we’ve been doing this for more than a century.

We are asking for your help in informing your audience about post-disaster contractor fraud. These 30 and 60-second PSAs, available for both television and radio, and in English and Spanish, are intended to raise awareness and inform hurricane victims how to identify contractor fraud and best practices for selecting a contractor.

We trust you will find these beneficial for your viewers and air them as time permits.
