The costs associated with health insurance plans have soared over the past couple of years and so have the number of consumers bilked by insurance scams.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of a crisis also brings out persons who take advantage of those who have already been victimized. Some of the most common “after-disasters” scams involve home repairs, clean-up efforts, heating and cooling equipment, and flood-damaged cars. The people who perpetrate theses scams are called ‘Storm Chasers’.
