Tampa (WFTS) - ABC Action News has learned that the Florida Attorney General has already fielded hundreds of complaints about price gouging while people prepare for Hurricane Dorian. A company spokesperson sent ABC Action News a brief statement on Friday after we asked about the price inflation. Doyel also notified the state's price gouging hotline and says she spoke directly with Florida AG Ashley Moody. Individuals or businesses found guilty of price gouging could face fines up to $1,000 per violation, or up to a maximum of $25,000 per day. I have activated Florida's Price Gouging Hotline in an effort to prevent gouging, so Floridians can afford essential items now.
