By partnering with leading industry organizations \u2013 including the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud \u2013 Travelers continuously advances its fraud detection capabilities and stays ahead of evolving schemes.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFraudulent contractors act as business enterprises, using high-pressure sales tactics and promising quick fixes to take advantage of people in their most vulnerable state,\u201d said David J. Glawe, President and Chief Executive Officer of the NICB. \u201cThe financial toll of contractor fraud extends far beyond the homeowner who gets scammed. These crimes also inflate costs for every policyholder. Awareness is the key to protecting homeowners from falling victim to fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nTo help protect against contractor fraud, Travelers recommends that property owners:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Contact insurers or independent agents to review policies<\/b>. Before signing any contract or agreement, engage your insurance carrier or agent. They can explain your coverage options and help ensure you don\u2019t unknowingly waive your rights. Many insurers, including <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.travelers.com%2Fclaims%2Fguides%2Fcontractor-repair-network&amp;esheet=54535526&amp;newsitemid=20260514679699&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Travelers&amp;index=2&amp;md5=8fdcb6c88e87da0ac63cf54e8886d1f7\">Travelers<\/a>, maintain networks of pre-vetted contractors they can recommend.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Insist on a written contract<\/b>. This is a standard industry practice, so be wary of any contractor who pressures you to skip this step.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Never pay in full upfront<\/b>. Large advance payments are a hallmark of fraudulent contractors. A reasonable deposit may be appropriate, but full payment should only follow completed, verified work.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Watch for red flags<\/b>. High-pressure sales tactics, vague answers, reluctance to provide references and allegations of government endorsement are all warning signs.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Research contractors before they\u2019re needed<\/b>. Check licenses, look up reviews and consult the Better Business Bureau before hiring anyone. Create a list of insured and well-reviewed local contractors and keep their contact information accessible.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nFor additional guidance on identifying and avoiding fraudulent contractors, visit Travelers\u2019 <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.travelers.com%2Fresources%2Fhome%2Finsuring%2Frebuild-the-right-way-property-damage-guide&amp;esheet=54535526&amp;newsitemid=20260514679699&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=vendor+tool+kit&amp;index=3&amp;md5=98c51d1e10631b12fb50867dbbeeda74\">vendor tool kit<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.travelers.com%2Fresources%2Fhome%2Frenovation%2Fchecklist-for-hiring-the-right-contractor&amp;esheet=54535526&amp;newsitemid=20260514679699&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=contractor+hiring+checklist&amp;index=4&amp;md5=45827201c8e12b5f9f0226e16d66d8c5\">contractor hiring checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Travelers<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>The Travelers Companies, Inc.
