Cameron announces new storm fraud hotline

Attorney General Daniel Cameron has announced a new Natural Disaster Fraud Hotline for Kentuckians to report fraud related to the deadly storms.

The hotline number is 502-696-5485 and is for Kentuckians to report suspected scams, price gouging, and other types of fraud related to severe weather events.

In addition, Cameron also established websites for Kentuckians who prefer to report suspected fraud electronically. Suspected price gouging can be reported by clicking here, while scams can be reported here.

The Attorney General's Consumer Protection hotline remains active and can be reached by calling 1-888-432-9257.

Before calling the Natural Disaster Fraud hotline, Kentuckians are encouraged to gather as many details as possible about the suspected fraud, including how the fraud was perpetrated and where it occurred. 

For price gouging, Kentuckians should report the name and address of the seller, the item purchased, and the price of the item before and after the emergency declaration, if known.
