Emmitt and I are both proud UF graduates, and this week we teamed up to release a joint message to all Floridians to remind them we are all on the same team in this fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus. We are also encouraging Floridians to report scams and price gouging to help protect their neighbors from pandemic-related fraud schemes.
You can join us by reporting scams to my office by calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM or visiting MyFloridaLegal.com. For more information about steps you can take to protect your health visit FloridaHealthCOVID19.gov.
I know there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, and with social distancing you might feel isolated. But you’re not alone. We are all in this fight together.
Don’t let fear or scammers discourage you. Be strong and speak up—if someone is trying to take advantage of you.
With faith, hope and a little teamwork, we will make it through this pandemic stronger than ever.
Working together, we can stop the spread of COVID-19 and scammers trying to exploit the pandemic.
Stay safe, Florida.
