Dear Neighbor,

I hope this correspondence finds you well...

If you’re looking for a new job, beware of scammers trying to get your personal information! The Connecticut Department of Labor (CTDOL) says criminals are asking victims for banking, credit card, and social security information while pretending to work at the state’s job bank, CTHires.

If you are in any of the following scenarios while applying for a job, hang up immediately:

  • You’re asked to pay a fee to apply or to be considered
  • You’re asked for your social security number, bank account number, or credit card details to complete your application
  • You’re told to give up valuable information or you’ll lose a job opportunity

Visit the CTDOL fraud watch page if you think you may be a victim of this or other scams.

As always, if I can be of assistance, please reach out to me at 860-240-8585 or email me at

Derell.Wilson@cga.ct.gov.

Sincerely,

Derell Wilson
State Representative
