Patricia Perkins, Director of the Idaho Department of Finance, is warning consumers to be aware of spoofed websites. The Department recently became aware of a phony website purporting to represent Idaho licensed lender Ace Cash Express.

The Idaho Department of Finance (Department), with the cooperation of Trust and Estate Services Company of Idaho d/b/a TrESCo of Idaho (TrESCo), issued a Consent Order requiring TrESCo to comply with the statutory requirements of the Idaho Trust Institutions Act and no longer engage in unauthorized trust activity in Idaho. TrESCo agreed to either obtain a trust charter from the Department or remove itself as trustee or agent for all accounts that constitute unauthorized trust activity.
