Attorney General Andy Beshear issued a scam alert Tuesday to warn Kentuckians of fake charity scams related to Hurricane Matthew. Due to the lasting devastation of the hurricane, Beshear asked Kentuckians to be aware of scammers attempting to profit from relief and restoration efforts. Reports indicate that con artists are using bogus names or representing themselves as legitimate charities in order to collect relief funds that they falsely claim will benefit storm victims. If you have a concern about a charitable solicitation, you can contact the Attorney General’s office at 888-432-9257.
