Maine's AG warns of scams following floods


(NECN) - Maine's Attorney General is warning flood victims in Aroostook County to be wary of scams.

Rowe says businesses and homeowners should contact insurance adjusters to get estimates of repair costs.

He recommends using those estimates as a reference when hiring a contractor.
