Beware of spoofed websites and mailers from ‘lenders’

Patricia Perkins, director of the Idaho Department of Finance, is warning consumers to be aware of scams online and in the mail. 

Perkins is urging consumers to be aware of spoofed websites. The department recently became aware of a phony website purporting to represent Idaho licensed lender Ace Cash Express.

The department has taken immediate action to have these websites removed; however, historically perpetrators of website scams often create new sites under new names in an attempt to continue their efforts to victimize consumers.
