Wisconsin Consumer Protection wants you to be aware of scammers targeting victims of previous scams. Administrator Michelle Reinen says the crooks will share information on people who have been victims in order to pose as legitimate agencies offering help.
Reinen said to “Be sure that you are seeking out the information directly yourself from real agencies and organizations that you can verify through secondary information.”
Reinen says anyone who knows you’ve been scammed without you reporting in the first place will be connected to the first scammer. Simply hang up or stop texting, and find help through your local law enforcement agency. You can contact DATCP for assistance at datcp.wi.gov or by calling (800) 422-7128.
