Vt., NH SNAP recipients targeted in phishing scam
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – State officials in Vermont and New Hampshire are warning SNAP recipients about phishing scams involving fraudulent phone calls, text messages, and emails.
Officials say scammers are calling and sending messages fraudulently claiming that the client’s EBT card has been “locked” and instructing them to call back to verify their eligibility.
Officials advise recipients not to share personal information with the sender and never give EBT card numbers to an unknown caller.
In Vermont, the scam should be reported to the Consumer Assistance Program at 800-649-2424.
