Watch out for flood scam jobs
Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna issued a warning on schemes targeting Washington residents whose homes were damaged by recent floods.
The warning stemmed from a report in Snohomish County of a scammer who phoned a homeowner and claimed to be a federal government employee. The caller said he was offering a low-interest loan to help repair flood-damaged homes. The attorney general suspects he may have been seeking personal information or money.
Homeowners and businesses should make sure that electricians, plumbers, roofers or other contractors they hire to do repairs or clean-up are licensed and registered to work in Washington.
Residents can check if a contractor is registered on the Department of Labor and Industries Web site at www.contractors.lni.wa.gov.
The Washington Department of Labor and Industries also warns that wires and equipment that have been submerged in water should not be re-energized without an inspection from a qualified inspector or electrical contractor.
