The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is alerting consumers to alarming new tactics reported in increasingly sophisticated imposter scams, wherein scammers disguise themselves as romantic connections, potential employers, or investment professionals, tricking victims into linking financial accounts and initiating an electronic request to transfer funds.

The Idaho Department of Finance, in partnership with the Idaho Scam Jam Alliance, is excited to announce a series of in-person and virtual educational events to help Idahoans learn how to prevent, identify, and report financial fraud and scams.
