Scammers posing as workers’ comp officials target Spanish-speaking workers in Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, demanding fake payments via gift cards or wire transfers.
Spanish-speaking workers in Oregon, Idaho, and Montana are being targeted by scammers posing as workers’ compensation officials, according to Oregon’s DCBS.
The fraud involves fake online hearings with fabricated judges or attorneys, resulting in false rulings that demand payment—often via gift cards or wire transfers—to release benefits.
Official agencies confirm they never charge fees or use social media for communication.
Victims are urged to verify suspicious contacts through the Ombuds Office for Oregon Workers and report scams to law enforcement or the Oregon Department of Justice fraud hotline.
