Elizabethtown police warning residents of scammers posing as FEMA
The Elizabethtown Police Department is warning residents of scammers going door to door claiming to be FEMA officials.
FEMA opened a disaster recovery center in Elizabethtown in April so those affected by flooding could apply for grants to rebuild.
According to police, the scammers are wearing vests with the FEMA logo and knocking on residents' doors asking about flood damage.
They are then giving people a fake sheet asking for sensitive information such as their Social Security Number, insurance information, and bank account information.
While FEMA employees do go door to door, they do it in small groups, according to officials.
Police are asking anyone who has an encounter like this to contact them so they can further investigate.
Residents can also call 1-800-621-3362 to verify the identity of a worker claiming to be with FEMA.
Officials are also reminding residents to not give out any information to non-vetted sources.
