Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is alerting consumers to be wary of internet schemes by entities masquerading as Citizens “selling” fictitious insurance products via the internet.

These sites typically ask for credit card or other personal information under the guise of issuing a new policy or paying a claim.

Citizens DOES NOT sell automobile insurance or sell property insurance directly over the internet. Citizens only offers property insurance policies and does so through a network of licensed insurance agents.

Citizens’ fraud unit and legal team are taking action to have such sites taken down. Customers with questions should contact their agent, reach out to Citizens online or call Citizens at 866.411.2472.
