LITTLE ROCK — Northeast Arkansas is cleaning up and entering the rebuilding phase after inclement weather swept through the area Friday. True to their hearts, many Arkansans will want to help their neighbors clean up and rebuild, but scammers will seize the opportunity to take advantage of affected communities, especially as supply chains make it harder to buy the products needed for home repairs.
Call our helpline at 1-800-952-9243 or apply online. Their contribution helps ensure equal access to justice for all Arkans. Tony Walker is an attorney with CALS Pine Bluff. He joined CALS in 2022. “I urge all Arkansans to remain vigilant as they begin the cleanup process and exercise caution when approached with unsolicited home repair offers,” said Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. “Scams are common after extreme weather, and in these already difficult times, fraud can add to Arkansan`s burden if services aren`t completed as promised.” Brenda Dokes is Principal Secretary in the Pine Bluff office. She has been working there since 1983.
