Avoid these most-common scams of 2020 Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt
This is the first week of March, which the Federal Trade Commission marks as National Consumer Protection Week. The Kansas Attorney General’s office and our In Your Corner Kansas campaign focuses year-round on protecting consumers from scams and rip-offs, but next week in particular we remind Kansans to be diligent and to keep yourself and your personal information safe.
One of the ways we do that is to share some of the most common scams reported to our office over the past year. This year’s list, perhaps not surprisingly, is topped by scams linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fraudsters used the health crisis to dust off their old tricks when Kansans were most vulnerable, ranging from offers of sure-fire cures to attempts to steal personal information under the guise of helping people obtain government benefits.
