Idahoans warned of e-mail scam

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden is warning
about an e-mail identity theft threat.

Wasden said a fraudulent e-mail has been sent to several
Idaho residents. It falsely claims to be from eBay and
requests personal identification information, including
Social Security numbers, credit card account numbers and
eBay passwords.

“Identity thieves frequently pose as representatives of a
trusted company,” Wasden said. “A consumer should never
give a credit card, Social Security number or other highly
personal information to anyone who contacts the consumer,
whether the request comes by phone or e-mail.”

Wasden said consumers should not answer the e-mail.
Instead, they should forward it to the business that
purportedly sent it.
