In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), have issued warnings about scams targeting disaster relief efforts. Scammers are capitalizing on these natural disasters by posing as legitimate charities, impersonating government officials, and offering fake disaster relief in exchange for money or personal information. The FTC has cautioned against paying for services through unconventional means such as wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, and advises against signing over insurance checks to third parties. Cybersecurity experts report a rise in scams, including advanced fee fraud and too-good-to-be-true offers for purchasing damaged properties. Unlicensed contractors and individuals exploiting vulnerable disaster victims have been noted as well. In response to these threats, CISA has advised vigilance against fraudulent emails and social media messages containing malicious links or attachments. The agency stresses the importance of verifying the legitimacy of communications before engaging with them. Additionally, federal agencies are addressing the spread of disinformation and misinformation on social media platforms, which have intensified following Hurricane Helene. Efforts include a dedicated team to counteract false narratives and ensure accurate information dissemination.
