Unemployment Insurance Phone and Email Scam

>>LARRY REBMAN: Hi. I'm Larry Rebman, Director of the Missouri Department of Labor. I have an important message for employers. There is an imposter claiming to be a representative of the Division of Employment Security. This individual is actively seeking confidential information about employees. And we know of one employer that has been affected. This individual claims to be Kevin Adams, a Senior Benefit Representative with the Division of Employment Security. He's using an e-mail address ending in @worker.com and a toll-free 866 number. Please note that the division does not have an employee by that name working here. We do not have a job title of Senior Benefit Representative and we do not use a toll-free number for employers. All of our e-mail addresses are the employee's name and end in @labor.mo.gov. We are doing everything we can to track this individual and work with law enforcement. And we are contacting those who may be affected. If you have been contacted by this individual or somebody similar, please call the number listed below. Thank you for your time.
