NJ warns of scam targeting flood victims

NEWARK, N.J. - Septmeber 14, 2011

Homeowners in Little Falls received a "Financial Recovery Awards" letter in which the "Payment Security Administration" told recipients they'll receive up to $27,500.

Recipients are asked to mail a "processing fee" of $29.97 to Canada.

State Consumer Affairs Director Thomas Calcagni says those who reply are giving an unknown person access to their bank account or credit card information.

Calcagni says anyone who has received the mailing should contact the Consumer Affairs Division.
