Unemployment fraud is on the rise in Aspen and local police are warning residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity that might indicate identity theft.
Aspen police said in a news release Tuesday the fraud has been increasing since the summer, but hit a peak this month when between Jan. 1 and Jan. 15 the department received 16 complaints about false claims.
“According to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the increase in reports of unemployment insurance fraud is likely connected to the expiration of CARES Act programs,” the release states.
