Beware of "Homeward Bound" and
"Personalized Home Services" Insurance Policies
Florida's Attorney
General, Bill McCollum, issued a consumer alert about these companies last
week. They both sell insurance-like products to senior citizens in
our area, but fail to pay for services. If you've been taken, you
can file a complaint by calling the Attorney General’s fraud hotline at
1-866-9-NO-SCAM (1-866-966-7226) or online at
http://myfloridalegal.com.
