There is an ongoing scheme attempting to defraud unemployment systems nationwide and law enforcement in the region is warning the public. Rio Blanco County Sheriff’s Office shares that “imposters are filing claims for unemployment benefits, using the names and personal information of people who have not filed claims. If you suspect you may have been a target of this scam, you should take steps to avoid the fraud and to protect yourself.” Consider taking the following steps: If you received a ReliaCard debit card, do not use it and deactivate it by calling U.S. Bank at 1-855-279-1678 or by submitting a form by email to U.S. Bank at ReliaCardFIU@usbank.com. For more information, the form is available online at www.usbankreliacard.com.
