Michigan AG Warns of Scams During Government Shutdown
The ongoing government shutdown has raised concerns about potential scams targeting people relying on federal benefits. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has warned residents to be vigilant against such fraudulent activities.
During the shutdown, federal benefits will continue, but services like application processing may face delays. It's crucial to note that government agencies will not ask for personal information or demand payment via email, phone calls, or text messages. The Michigan Attorney General's office encourages residents to report any suspected scams, file complaints, or seek additional information on their official website.
However, during this period, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will not be able to take fraud complaints or help block spam calls. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recommends contacting her office's Civil Rights Division or the Michigan Department of Civil Rights for any doubts or concerns regarding interactions with state authorities.
Residents are advised to stay cautious and informed during the government shutdown. If you suspect a scam, report it to the Michigan Attorney General's office. For concerns about state authorities, contact the Civil Rights Division or the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
