Скачать или смотреть NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson warns against Helene scams in Boone

Attorney General Jeff Jackson will visit Boone on Tuesday for a joint news conference with law enforcement officials warning residents in western North Carolina to be wary of scams and fraud as they rebuild after Hurricane Helene.

Jackson is scheduled to speak at noon. His remarks will be streamed live on WCNC+ and the WCNC Charlotte mobile app. Jackson will be joined by NCSBI Director Chip Haley and Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman for the news conference.

Jackson made a similar visit to Biltmore Village in Asheville last month, marking six months since the storm devastated the North Carolina mountains. During the Asheville stop, Jackson warned small businesses and homeowners against scammers who are looking for a quick buck when it comes to Helene recovery.

State officials said at the time they'd received tips of contractor scams and reports of people impersonating FEMA officials. Jackson said his office was investigating claims that those people were giving unfair price quotes to homeowners. #News #Helene #WNC
