Department of Retirement Systems recently learned of several email and phone schemes targeting public employees.
Last week, an employee at the Washington State Department of Ecology got a call from one of these scammers. The employee, who will remain anonymous, received a call on her work cell phone from someone claiming to represent a non-profit that works with DRS. ?The caller sounded believable and was very professional,? she recalls. ?Who wouldn?t want free advice about retirement??
However, when the Ecology employee asked the caller to confirm the organization name and contact information, the call was disconnected.
Thankfully, the employee did not give out any personal information on the phone and reported the call to DRS.?
