Attorney General Mayes today issued a consumer alert warning Arizonans to be on guard against scams in the wake of last week’s severe storms that brought heavy rain, wind, hail, and flooding to communities across the state.

“Natural disasters can bring out the best in our neighbors—but unfortunately, they also attract bad actors looking to take advantage of people when they are most vulnerable,” said Attorney General Mayes. “I urge Arizonans to remain vigilant when approached by contractors or charities in the aftermath of these storms.”
