Whether it's a fabricated claim, unnecessary medical treatment, or billing for services that never happened, workers' compensation fraud can drive up costs for businesses, employees, and consumers alike.

Homeowners seek immediate help after property damage in the aftermath of a storm-related disaster. Dishonest contractors use pressure to exploit this vulnerability to target homeowners, especially older adults.

Contractor fraud can occur after any weather emergency. Take a moment to slow down, ask questions, and make sure you trust who you're working with.

Contractor fraud leaves homeowners and business owners paying out of pocket when dishonest contractors fail to complete promised work.

As Contractor Fraud Awareness Week (CFAW) approaches, National Insurance Crime Bureau breaks down how this fraud happens.

Most contractors run legitimate businesses and serve their customers well, but some target communities after disasters, collect payments, and abandon projects.

Verify credentials, review contracts carefully, and avoid large upfront payments before any work begins.
