The email does not explicitly ask for money or threaten legal action but it is similar to phishing emails that circulated last year impersonating officials from the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
“Please don’t fall for a scam like this,” Nessel said. “These bad actors will do anything to try to impersonate someone in order to trick people into turning over personal information or even money. I urge everyone to remain skeptical when you receive messages out of the blue, email or otherwise.”
The attempt to communicate is similar to a scam that cost one woman and her family their entire savings.
