Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird urges residents to be on the lookout for scammers and shady contractors targeting victims of this week’s storms.
Governor Kim Reynolds has issued a disaster proclamation for 42 counties affected by this week’s storms, including Johnson, Iowa, Muscatine, and Cedar. The proclamation triggers price gouging regulations that prevent excessive price increases for essential goods or services in these areas.
Anyone suspicious of a storm-chaser scam or price gouging should contact the Iowa Attorney General’s Office at 888-777-4590 or file a complaint online at https://www.iowaattorneygeneral.gov.
