Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is once again warning Michiganders about the dangers of scammers trying to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her office has released the following:
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel today warned Michiganders again to beware of scammers claiming to be from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) as well as local public health departments, calling residents to offer anything from medication and at-home COVID-19 tests to grants from the government while demanding personally identifiable information.
The latest reports focus on MDHHS in Bay County where a scammer said they were from the department and were calling to give out a $14,000 grant. The scammer then demanded that the “winner” provide their Social Security Number, date of birth and address to claim the funds.
