Washington state attorney general Bob Ferguson says a range of scams, from pretending to be government entities to robocalls, are targeting people in Washington.
.The judge also blocked the companies from mailing letters into Washington state that appear to be a bill or an invoice for payment. The court order also bars the companies from sending letters that look like they are from the Washington state government or a company working on behalf of the government.
The attorney general’s office also said it conducted a survey of consumers and found that unintentional enrollment in a subscription service was also an issue for many people. Consumers thought they were making a one-time purchase but were signed up for subscriptions anyway. The attorney general’s office released results from that survey and said 59% of Washington residents reported something along those lines happening to them — that’s roughly 3.5 million people.
Clinton said that government imposter scams come in regularly to the office but so do many other types of scams. Auto-renewals for subscription services appeared to be high on the list of things the attorney general hears about when it comes to consumer complaints. She also said robocalling continues to be an issue, along with fake websites pretending to be legitimate — but are just fronts for parties trying to get people’s personal info.
