Morrisey warns against fraudulent activity robocalls

May 6, 2021 May 6, 2021 CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey urges the public to be wary of robocalls that seek to deceive consumers into believing that fraudulent activity exists on their checking, savings or purchasing account. Con artists engaging in the scheme frequently pose as the consumer’s bank or the representative of a familiar online purchasing platform, such as Amazon, Apple or others. The caller then requests account information to confirm and fix the situation, however, compliance opens the consumer to actual fraud. The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division has recently learned of such thieves swiping consumer bank accounts of $1,600 to $5,000. In another instance, quick action allowed the bank to stop a pending withdrawal of $5,000.
