Report your claim and guard against scams

Posted
CAYCE - Farm Bureau Insurance adjusters are assessing storm damage and assisting policyholders. If you have storm damage, you may report claims anytime by calling 1 (800) 799-7500, or report claims online at www.SCFBIns.com. If your home is damaged, do what you can to prevent further damage, as long as you can do so safely. If you make temporary repairs, keep all receipts to provide to the adjuster who handles your claim. Take photos of any damage before repairing it. Keep damaged items until the adjuster arrives and consider photographing or videotaping the damage. You’ll also want to prepare a list of damaged or lost items to provide the adjuster. As storm cleanup begins, criminals will look for ways to cash in on your loss. Don’t fall victim to storm-related repair scams. Only do business with local, reputable businesses. Don’t be pressured into signing a contract, and don’t pay cash or write a check for work that has not been completed.
