North Carolinians with Hurricane Florence damaged homes, businesses and property will be prime targets for scammers.
The North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors (NCLBGC) is advising citizens to exercise caution to avoid becoming further victimized by scam artists posing as legitimate contractors. Licensed general contractors have passed an examination and met the financial requirements for being a licensed general contractor in the state of North Carolina.
Verify if a contractor is properly licensed by: 1) searching on the NCLBGC’s website at www.nclbgc.org; 2) calling 800-220-7185; or 3) downloading “NCLBGC SEARCH,” the Board’s free mobile app.
