Con Men targeting NC Victims Already

Scammers have descended on the hardest hit areas post-Hurricane Helene — including so-called “FEMA-authorized” tree experts who’ve gone door to door demanding $280 a pop to help in devastated Asheville, North Carolina.

James Butler, a well and septic contractor in the artsy city, issued a warning on TikTok that those most vulnerable are being targeted by con men looking for a quick buck.

“What is a natural disaster without scammers?” Butler mused sardonically to his viewers.

“And apparently, the scammers are here in Asheville, North Carolina.”

We've had schmucks like that hit town after every single hurricane. It's not like you don't have enough on your plate, and then you have to worry about getting ripped off when you desperately need help, too.

As far as I"'m concerned, they're as bad as looters.
