The Vermont Attorney General’s Consumer Assistance Program has released a video and toolkit to help businesses identify and avoid imposter email scams.
The Consumer Assistance Program says imposter scams are among the most frequent reported by Vermonters. In a video released by the Vermont Attorney General’s office, Chief of Staff Charity Clark explains how in 2020 the business imposter scams resulted in reported losses of more than $116,000 across the state.
“Cybercriminals compromise business systems by requesting funds in a way that looks like standard operating procedures.”
The video and a toolkit from the Attorney General’s office is available to help identify and protect businesses from the scams.
