AG ​Raoul warned Illinois residents to be on alert for scammers looking to exploit homeowners and business owners who may need repairs from storm-related damage.

“We too often see scammers take advantage of the devastation caused by severe weather and use it as an opportunity to line their own pockets.  residents begin assessing damage and making repairs, I encourage people to use the resources provided by my office, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and other reputable resources to ensure they choose a trustworthy contractor. People should be wary of any individual who solicits home repair or insurance adjusting services door to door.” – AG Raoul
