LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Flood victims should be cautious of disaster relief scams amid recent flooding events. Brielle Blanchard, CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Acadiana, said scammers often try to take advantage of those already struggling. “Homeowners become vulnerable,” Blanchard said. She warns that scammers will pose as government disaster relief assistance agencies, like FEMA and the SBA. They call you to offer assistance through grants or loans.
