Michigan warns of fake government scams during shutdown; agencies won’t ask for payment or info by phone, text, or email.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel warns residents of a rise in government imposter scams during the federal shutdown, cautioning that fraudsters may pose as officials to steal personal info or money by claiming issues with benefits like Social Security, Medicare, or SNAP.
Though no confirmed scams have been reported, she stresses legitimate agencies never request payments or data via phone, text, or email, nor accept gift cards or cryptocurrency.
Benefits continue during the shutdown, though delays may occur.
Residents should verify concerns through official sources, avoid suspicious links, and report any scams to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Team.
