Utah residents are being warned of 'black market' sandbags that were taken for free, but are now being sold to neighbors for a profit.

SALT LAKE CITY — With potential flooding on the horizon for much of Utah, it should come as no surprise that some people are looking to take advantage of others ahead of a possible crisis.

According to the office, there are people hoarding sandbags that have been distributed for free at various city and community locations, and then listing them online for a hefty price. A quick search for sandbags on Facebook Marketplace turns up dozens of listings, with many selling for up to $10 a bag. While some postings are from legitimate businesses, others are not.

"It puts a real cramp on the ability for people who might need the sandbags to go and fill their own and use them to protect their property," he said.

Charging any more than what it cost you to deliver the bags, is wrong! You're making money off the misery of others.
