Below is a statement on scams/price gauging from the Attorney General:

During a storm-related declared state of emergency, state law prohibits excessive increases in the price of essential commodities, such as equipment, food, gasoline, hotel rooms, ice, lumber and water needed as a direct result of the event.

Anyone who suspects price gouging can report it to the Florida Attorney General’s Office by:

• Visiting MyFloridaLegal.com 
• Calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM

For more information on price gouging, access Attorney General Moody’s flyers:

• Scams at a Glance: Price Gouging (PDF)
• Scams at a Glance: After the Storm (PDF)

Florida’s price gouging law only applies to items and services essential to getting ready for, or recovering from, a storm within the areas of a declared state of emergency.   Violators of the price gouging statute are subject to civil penalties of $1,000 per violation and up to a total of $25,000 for multiple violations committed in a single 24-hour period.
