Linton Police Department warns residents of potential storm repair scams

The Linton Police Department is urging residents to use caution when approached by individuals or companies offering quick storm damage repairs.

Authorities advise taking extensive photographs of any damage and communicating directly with insurance agents and claims departments. Residents should request references, verify businesses through the Better Business Bureau, and avoid signing documents without reading them thoroughly and asking questions.

The department advises residents to be skeptical of unfamiliar names and companies.

Anyone with concerns is encouraged to contact their insurance provider.
