HARRISBURG (Newsradio 100.1 FM and 1020 KDKA) – The Department of Labor & Industry are urging Pennsylvanians to be aware of unemployment fraud.
"With the availability of additional federal unemployment program funding, fraudsters are becoming bolder in their attempts to obtain and use Pennsylvanians' personal information to steal this money," said Berrier. "More than ever, each and every one of us must be on high alert and closely guard our personal information to stop these scammers."
The goal for the fraudsters is to use the information to create fraudulent unemployment claims and redirect benefit payments.
