Today, reports have surfaced that people are using the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in order to rob or scam individuals affected by the storm.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has sent out his own warnings via Twitter:
Sadly, there are reports of #sandy #scams -- ppl impersonating utility workers. Pls beware: all utility workers carry photo ID

Pls beware of #Sandy recovery #scams -- if someone asks to access your hm make sure you check photo ID (all utility wkers carry one)

The New York Post reports that looters have raided stores and are dressing up as Con Ed workers and robbing homes, and in Boston yesterday, police arrested a suspect who allegedly robbed a bank during the storm.
