THE AUTHOR: Phae Moore is the founder and executive director of The National Center for the Prevention of Home Improvement Fraud (NCPHIF), a 501 (c) nonprofit organization created to help homeowners avoid becoming victims of contractor fraud and scams. NCPHIF was founded by Phae in 2009, after witnessing firsthand the financial and emotional effects that contractor fraud had on her own grandmother. "I absolutely remember the pain in her face," Phae says. "That will be with me always." Realizing that, like her grandmother, many homeowners are not equipped with the information and resources they need to be proactive in avoiding contractor fraud, Phae has made it her passion and commitment to make sure others do not experience the same loss. After attending college, Phae felt the entrepreneurial bug and left school to pursue many of her business ideas. After failing......repeatedly.....Phae learned many valuable life lessons and business skills. Finally, her hard work paid off and she started a successful third party reimbursement company. Phae is now a home repair fraud prevention expert, real estate agent, HUD certified housing counselor, Member of the City of Atlanta Code Enforcement Committee and the Executive Director of The National Center for the Prevention of Home Improvement Fraud (NCPHIF). She is a national speaker in the fight against home repair fraud and has counseled and coached hundreds of thousands of consumers through their home repair projects. Phae continues to bring awareness to this multi-billion dollar problem. "If I don't work hard every day to reach and teach every community how to protect themselves, if I don't knock on every door for the support NCPHIF needs to help protect those who are most vulnerable to contractor scams in this country, then I am doing them all a disservice," she said. NCPHIF is a national 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate homeowners on how to protect themselves from becoming victims of home repair contractor fraud and scams. NCPHIF continues to serve as an advocate for home repair fraud prevention and encourages all homeowners to contact them for assistance at www.PreventContractorFraud.org.
