Scammers Pose as Insurance Regulators for Possible ID Theft

The National Assoc of Insurance Commissioners warns that agents in several states have been called by scammers posing as insurance regulators in order to collect personal data that would make I.D. theft possible.

It reports that Oklahoma, Idaho, Nevada and California have reported instances of agents being targeted. In those states, callers have posed as insurance department employees requesting personal information such as birth dates, social security and credit card numbers, and threatening agents with license suspension if they fail to comply.
