Attorney General Warns Of Seasonal Scams

 {Frankfort, Kentucky}…Attorney General Jack Conway is urging Kentucky consumers to be wary of seasonal scams and identity theft. Conway says a record number of consumers are turning to their smart phones, tablets and computers for their holiday shopping needs, and scammers working overtime to develop fraudulent emails and text messages to gain access to your personal information and your identity. Conway says shoppers should be leery of text messages or pop-up ads offering products such as iPads or gift cards for free or at heavily discounted rates. Conway's Office of Consumer Protection says some appear to come from a reputable store, while others involve sweepstakes.
