Connecticut Warns Consumers Against Unsolicited Mortgage, Credit Card Debt Assistance; False Offers Of Help Are A "Scavenger Hunt" Says State AG
- Attorney General Richard Blumenthal issued an urgent consumer warning [last week] about unsolicited calls to consumers offering reduced rates on mortgages or credit card debt.
***
- "Our advice to consumers: hang up on unsolicited offers," Blumenthal said. "This scam victimizes our most vulnerable citizens -- homeowners desperate to save their families and escape financial ruin. This reprehensible ruse -- false promises of reduced rates on mortgage and debt -- is actually a scavenger hunt for private, personal information on consumers that may be illegally exploited. Consumers who divulge details hopeful for better lives will find only deeper financial ruin."
