Commissioner Swanson Warns of Unemployment Insurance Scam Targeting Montanans

The Montana Department of Labor and Industry is warning Montanans to be on the lookout for fraudulent emails threatening to cancel or deny a DLI Unemployment Insurance claim.

The message says, “You have time sensitive correspondence waiting in your DLI Unemployment Insurance Online Inbox that may require a response.” It goes on to say, “Failure to respond to time sensitive requests for information may result in a loss or denial of your DLI Unemployment Insurance claim.”

Commissioner Swanson urges Montanans to be on the lookout for the red flags of fraud.
