AG Tong and Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner Bryan Cafferelli are warning consumers and families to be aware of clean up scams in the aftermath of severe storms causing flooding, downed trees, power outages and property damage in towns across Connecticut. 

“Severe storms can cause severe property damage, and those bills can add up fast. I know it’s tempting to jump on a lowball offer, especially if someone is at your door ready to get to work. But if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take your time and always verify that a contractor is legitimate, licensed, with a detailed contract in writing.” -AG Tong
