The FTC says you should be skeptical of anyone promising immediate clean-up repairs, especially if they demand payment up front at a high cost. Make sure to verify information given to you by someone who says they're a contractor, including asking for licenses or proof of insurance. Scammers might also ask for outrageous amounts of money for a rental. According to the FTC, you should steer clear if anyone asks for a security deposit or rent before you've met or signed a lease.
