The Arkansas Attorney General is warning of over-the-phone scams that are on the increase across the state.
According to the attorney general, scammers are calling claiming that you have won a major prize and all you need to do is claim it.
THIS IS A SCAM.
If you do not remember entering a contest, the attorney general says to hang up the phone.
The AG’s office has a few tips for consumers regarding these types of situations:
- Consumers should not try to collect winnings from sweepstakes they do not remember entering.
- Never give out personal financial information.
- Do not pay money upfront in an attempt to claim a prize.
- Always remember that if it looks or seems too good to be true, it most likely is.
- Scammers often use the name of legitimate businesses, like Publishers Clearinghouse, or a similar name to trick consumers into turning over their information.
