Grieving Survivors, Protect Yourself From Fraud

After losing a loved one, the last thing you want to deal with is scammers trying to take advantage of you. The Federal Trade Commission warns of people contacting grieving families to register them for funeral assistance. If someone calls you claiming to be from FEMA, hang up and report it. Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 or the National Center for Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721.

Remember that:

FEMA will not contact you until you have reached out to them or have applied for the assistance program.
The government won’t ask you to pay anything to access financial help.
You should not give your or your loved one’s personal information to anyone who contacts you out of the blue.
