Spoofed= Spoofing is a type of scam in which a criminal disguises an email address, display name, phone number, text message, or website URL to convince a target that they are interacting with a known, trusted source.

New Home Warranty Act

The Mississippi New Home Warranty Act outlines specific timeframes for builders to address repairs or defects in newly constructed homes. Typically, the Act requires builders to rectify warranted defects within a reasonable time after receiving written notice from the homeowner.

However, the Act doesn't specify an exact timeline for repairs. What's considered "reasonable" can vary depending on the nature and severity of the issue. Minor repairs might be expected to be resolved more quickly than major structural problems. It's often helpful to communicate directly with the builder to establish expectations for the repair timeline. This is something that needs to be fixed in the statute.
