**Clay Edwards Show – Storm Aftermath Scams: Fake “Entergy Safety Team” Hustlers Exposed**
Jamie Creel of Shelter Insurance breaks down the devastation from the recent South Mississippi tornadoes in Lincoln County and Bogue Chitto, then goes straight into the scams already popping up in the aftermath. While his team was on-site at 6:30 a.m. blacking in a customer’s half-destroyed house and clearing debris to prevent further rain damage, a guy rolls up in a truck with a skid steer wearing a bright orange “Entergy Safety Team” shirt. He offers to clean everything up fast… until Jamie asks if he actually works for Entergy. The guy admits he doesn’t.
Jamie warns listeners loud and clear: right after a major storm, hustlers and scammers swarm in pretending to be utility workers or offering immediate cleanup and repairs. They prey on families at their most vulnerable. His advice — call your actual insurance agent first, know exactly what your policy covers, and be extremely wary of anyone showing up uninvited in official-looking gear trying to pressure you into quick work.
