Washington State Issues Warning About Scammers Targeting Small Businesses

The Washington State Attorney General’s Office has raised an alarm after numerous complaints surfaced regarding scammers impersonating state officials to extort money from small business owners. These fraudsters are using fake letters and phone calls to create a sense of urgency, pressuring victims to make immediate payments under false pretenses.

Business owners have reported receiving official-looking correspondence claiming they owe fees or taxes to the state, often accompanied by threats of legal action if payments are not made promptly. The scams have raised concerns among local entrepreneurs who are already facing challenges in a difficult economic climate.

Authorities urge small business owners to remain vigilant and verify any communication they receive that requests payment. The Attorney General’s Office advises individuals to contact them directly if they suspect they have been targeted by these scams. Taking proactive measures can help protect businesses from falling victim to these deceitful tactics.
