Don’t respond to a text about your pending unemployment benefits as regulators in Madison say it’s a scam.
The state’s Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection yesterday said there’s been a spike in reports of fake texts that claim there is a problem with your unemployment benefits. DATCP says Wisconsin’s unemployment office doesn’t text people about their benefits and would never ask anyone to reset their password and account information over the phone. The state says ifyou get one of the texts, don’t open it.
