AG Dana Nessel wants people to lookout for scam emails containing her name

Attorney General Dana Nessel wants people to be on the lookout for scam emails containing her name.

The email claims to offer help with scammers attempting to steal the recipient’s tax refund. However, the emails themselves are a scam.

The AG office wants to remind everyone that collecting or facilitating the collection of federal tax debt is not apart of an attorney general's duties, so Nessel's name would never be attached to a debt collection email.

Readers should take note of the broken English and incorrect tenses, which are important clues to the email’s lack of authenticity. Additionally, the emails are being sent from a Gmail account, not an official state or federal email address.

A library of legitimate consumer alerts created by the Department of Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Team can be found here.
