诈骗意识和隐私保护

Disaster recovery can be a time when scams surge, as exploiters descend upon survivors at their most vulnerable, claiming to be government employees, financial institutions, 和 even charities. Data leaks 和 caller ID spoofing can make these scammers appear even more legitimate. 记住:
- Never share personal information when someone unknown has contacted you via phone, email, or text. Find the phone number for the business or agency yourself, then call them.
- 联邦紧急事务管理局灾难援助人员将永远有身份证件，并且永远不会要钱。它们不为企业、服务或产品背书。
- Repair scams may include insisting you pay for the job in full up front, agree to the repairs without a written offer, or act quickly.
哄抬物价
- Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin on May 27^th issued this 咨询:
- “Those with storm damage should call their insurance company before paying any company or individual a deposit. Post-storm scammers will offer quick repair jobs for an immediate deposit 和 may even claim that insurance will reimburse the purchaser. I encourage Arkansans not to feel pressured into immediate solutions that appear too good to be true.
- “Furthermore, the Governor’s emergency declaration has triggered the state’s anti-price gouging law, prohibiting businesses from charging more than 10 percent above the pre-disaster price of goods or services. Price gouging will not be tolerated as Arkansas recovers, 和 I will bring the full power of my office to bear on anyone who violates our law.”
- 格里芬提醒房主：
  - 保险公司将履行他们的家庭保险。
  - 没有必要急于签署或迫于压力签署合同协议。
  - 他还提供了一些修复受损财产的建议：
  - 获得多个估计。
  - 要求推荐信并检查它们。
  - 永远不要让承包商强迫你雇佣他们。
  - 永远不要签署一份“以后再填”的合同。
  - 在工作完成之前，永远不要全额付款给承包商。
  - 永远不要让承包商阻止你联系你的保险公司。
  - 确保你审阅并理解所有寄给保险公司的文件。
- Act 376 of 1997 is triggered whenever a state of emergency is declared by federal, state, or local governments. A violation of Act 376 is also a violation of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which carries a fine of up to $10,000. The law prohibits businesses from charging more than 10 percent above the pre-disaster price of goods or services, such as:
  - 食物和水；
  - 燃料;
  - 毯子、药品和绷带；和
  - 手电筒、电池和建筑材料。
  - The ban on price gouging remains in effect for at least 30 days 和 can be extended another 30 days if necessary to protect Arkansans’ lives, property, or welfare. For home repairs, the law remains in effect for 180 days.
- Arkansans who wish to report concerns about the subject of this Consumer Alert or desire more information should contact the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office by calling (501) 682-2007, emailing consumer@arkansasag.gov, or visiting ArkansasAG.gov.
