Beware of Contractor Scams in DeSoto County Post-Hurricane Milton
As DeSoto County works to rebuild after Hurricane Milton, residents are urged to be cautious of scammers posing as contractors or offering unsolicited repair services. While some offers may be legitimate, others could be fraudulent.
Signs of Potential Scams:
- Unlicensed contractors
- Requests for large upfront payments or cash-only deals
- High-pressure tactics to sign contracts immediately
To protect yourself, always verify a contractor’s license by visiting www.MyFloridaLicense.com or calling 850-487-1395. If you notice any suspicious activity, contact the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office at 863-993-4700.
Stay vigilant—your safety comes first. #StaySafeDeSoto #ContractorScams
