From fake job offers to corrupted bank account claims, here’s what residents need to know to stay safe this spring.
LARIMER COUNTY – With new scams emerging and old tricks resurfacing, Northern Colorado residents are urged to stay alert and protect their personal information. Local officials and fraud prevention advocates have flagged several active scam tactics currently circulating in the region as of May 2025.
Among the most concerning are impersonation attempts involving government agencies. Authorities stress that law enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security, the Federal Trade Commission, or the FBI will never call and demand payment for a warrant or ask you to transfer money due to a “corrupted” account. If you receive a call of this nature, hang up.
