DC Government Offers Scam Alert
|
|
The District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) is warning District consumers to be on the alert for advance fee scams.
Advance fee scams solicit investors to pay a fee up front to complete a deal or transaction. The advance payment may be described as a fee, tax, commission or incidental expense that will be repaid later.
If you are contacted by an organization claiming to be the Department of Financial Regulators, or any potential scammer, you should note the time and date of the call, the name of the caller, the caller ID information and what the caller says. You should
not
provide the caller with your personal information. Instruct them not to call you again and hang up the phone.
If you believe you have been a victim of an advance fee scam, another type of financial scam or have questions, please contact the Enforcement and Consumer Protection Division of the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking at 202-727-8000.
Visit
DISB for more information on consumer protection.
