Pennsylvania’s Attorney General is taking a stand against Florida scammers who duped new business owners by posing as state officials and pocketing their hard-earned money. The lawsuit highlights a troubling trend of fraudulent activity aimed at unsuspecting entrepreneurs looking to establish their businesses.
The scammers reportedly contacted new business owners, claiming to represent state agencies, and demanded fees for services that were either unnecessary or nonexistent. Many victims were left confused and financially strained, as they believed they were complying with legal requirements.
By filing this lawsuit, the Attorney General aims to protect Pennsylvania residents from such deceptive practices and seeks to hold the perpetrators accountable. This action serves as a warning to potential victims to remain vigilant and verify the legitimacy of any official communications they receive. The Attorney General’s office encourages business owners to report any suspicious activity to help combat this growing issue.
