Every time I read about this it makes me sick. Once word got out that FEMA was giving away money to anyone who filled out paperwork, everyone and their brother joined in.
This is not shocking. The congressional reps. in the area should be fired on the spot They knew there was no damage. Any adjuster who wrote checks should be fired. Any citizen who accepted money and frauded should be made to refund the $ and fined. None of this will happen and it will business as usual in the next storm.
These lowlife dishonest morons that are filing bogus claims be it Fema or insurance make me sick!!There are people like myself that are STILL awaiting money in order to get the 8 ft wide holes in the ceilings fixed etc while you scumbags are sitting in your cozy untouched by the hurricanes houses with your new tvs, appliances, or whatever you bought with your bogus claims which my be delaying money for the people that really need help! I hope to God each and everyone of you are caught and are penalized!
Fema – has a history of giving away the farm wherever they go. It seems like the most important issue for them is that no local politician make a complaint about them. Afterall it’s not there money. The adjusters who approved these bogus claims?? Who knows what they were told to do? But somebody(s) should be getting their last government paycheck!
I’ve followed this since the Sun-Sentinel broke it over a month ago and so far, have seen nothing done about it.
It is beyond shameful. Not only was Miami-Dade untouched by any of the Hurricanes, but they only had to delay a Miami Dolphins football game from being played for 8 hours to ‘see what the storm would do’. When it obviously didn’t touch them, play ball!
I can not speak for all of Florida, but can post on my Brevard County experience.
Here I sit, Thanksgiving morning. Waiting for a ride to a familys home because my car was made undrivable by the last hurricane. Its sitting underneath a carport that has blown off and where the beams remain.. collapsing. This houses my electrical lines to my home.
I have less then half electrical power throughout my house. Most things dont work. I have no stove, refrigerator, no overhead lights, and 2 lamps.
Water shorted out my main phone line, and the collapsing beams are severing the backup line.
My entire home was flooded. I have no carpet or furniture aside from an office desk and 2 beds.
My Central air unit has major problems, the stand for it is now rusting from setting in water from all the storms, and the blower switch is shorting out.
Mold everywhere that will NOT go away regardless of how much bleech is dumped on it.
Everything leaks, and whenever it rains, i get dirt inside due to seepage
Our entire roof is tarped awaiting roof repairs that desperately need done.
My fences are gone, along with all remaining finances.
Where is FEMA in this? They lost our application once. Never showed up the second time, and the third inspector was angry that we didnt have enough light for him to see..
Fema was here over 2 weeks ago.
We’re still waiting to see if we’re approved or denied (despite massive damage including collapsed ceilings, blown away roofs and flood damage, the majority of people i know were denied!)
But Miami Dade has left wear marks on the sidewalk parading to the check cashing stands.
same cynic here. Dubya assured FL of the $28 Mil for the storm. He also delivered $25 Mil in Oct to NH for having a lower birth rate in unwed teen mothers without trying! go figure…our tax dollars keep rebuilding homes where they shouldnt be built. they also sent millions when NH had an ice storm…my goodness, ice in NH requires FEMA? what next! hold onto your pockets folks.
Although Miami-Dade is the “smoking gun” in this case because it was barely touched by the storms, this type of fraud is widespread throughout the state and a lot more common than we are told. I remember in 1992-93 in the wake of hurricane Andrew, when millions of dollars in claims and hurricane relief were paid to people who filed claims in places such as Tampa, Orlando and even Jacksonville.

My question is why did the on site adjusters approve and pay these bogus claims?
