Concerns Raised Over Scams During Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has the potential to embolden scammers.
The Federal Trade Commission’s fraud and scam reporting website is down due to the shutdown. A message on the website states:
“due to the government shutdown, we are unable to offer this website service at this time.”
It adds that operations will be restored when the shutdown ends. Consumer watchdogs are issuing a new warning about potential impacts.
- Scammers are posing as government agencies.
- They use texts, phone calls, and emails to target federal employees and beneficiaries.
- Those scammers are after personal information.
Resources are still available during the shutdown.
