PENNSYLVANIA, USA The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) has become aware of multiple attempts by fraudsters to obtain individuals personal and confidential information through fake Facebook pages and is reminding Pennsylvanians to never provide their information to anyone over social media. Unfortunately, the availability of new federal unemployment money is causing a surge in fraud attempts, said L&I Acting Secretary Jennifer Berrier. L&I does not communicate directly with individuals over social media, including Facebook.
L&I operates a Facebook page under the name PA Department of Labor & Industry and handle @PALaborIndustry. Several similarly-named pages have appeared over the past few days, and some scammers have posted on L&I s legitimate page pretending to be L&I employees.
