Fraud and Scams

 Scammers use increasingly more numerous and creative ways to target consumers by phone and internet. See the Minnesota Attorney General's website to find fact sheets covering variations on this kind of fraud.

In our positions as librarians, not lawyers, we can suggest resources but cannot give legal advice (such as which form to file) or legal opinions (such as how a statute might apply to particular facts). To do so could be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Even though we try to suggest materials that will be of help, more research is often required to find a complete and correct answer. For many questions, the best answer may be to consult an attorney.
