Have You Been the Target of a Consumer Scam (Phishing, Smishing, Identity Theft, Fraudulent Debt Collection)?
April 29, 2009
Our office hopes to use this blog to warn consumers about financial scams. So, If you are a Maryland or D.C. resident and you have been the target of a financial scam, tell us about it.
Our office has noticed an increase in scammers posing as debt collectors. The scammers’ techniques may include phishing, smishing, other forms of identity theft, and other fraudulent debt collection activities.
For example, the scammer may ask you to fax your financial information to him or her. Or, you may get an email or text message telling you to call a seemingly legitimate 800 number. But, when you call, you may be prompted to enter sensitive information like credit card or ATM card numbers.
If you have been a target and you’d like to share your story, email info@warelawllc.com.
