L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger is now urging Eaton Fire survivors to come forward if they were targeted by fraudulent tow companies. The deceptive operators falsely claim to be contracted by Altadena officials and then proceed to tow vehicles without informing owners of the storage location, according to Barger's office.

An organized ring in the Inland Empire is accused of towing vehicles to a body shop and demanding excessive fees for release.
