FTC Video: Avoid Scams This Hurricane Season #short

Transcript:
If you’re stocking up on the essentials to get ready for hurricane season, make fraud prevention part of your plan.
Here are four things to help you get started:
Check your insurance policy. Find out what’s covered — and what isn’t.
Do a household inventory — make a list and take pictures.
Then keep your list and other important records — like deeds, insurance cards, passports, birth certificates, and some cash — in a lockable fireproof box you can grab and go.
Check out home repair contractors before you need one. Ask people you trust for recommendations and search online for the company’s name with words like “scam” or “complaint.”

FTC Video: Avoiding Search Result Scams in Treating Opioid Addiction or Dependence
If you’re searching for help when you or someone in your life needs treatment for opioid addiction or dependence, the last thing you need is to deal with a scam. So if you start online to find help, know that dishonest businesses could use search result scams to steer you their way. Here’s how it works.
Your top search results online are often paid ads. To get your money or information, dishonest businesses sometimes advertise using the names of real centers but with their own contact information. And when you call, they may not tell you clearly who they are. So if you reach out, you’re not getting the help you’re looking for.
If you’re searching online for a specific treatment clinic, check out the results closely before you click on the ad to call the number. And then check out any program or center you find before you share information or money.
To get real help near you, start at FindTreatment.gov. And if you spot a dishonest business, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
