Scammers are getting smarter, but so are Nebraskans. Attorney General Mike Hilgers is providing consumers with tools to recognize fraud, avoid scams, and protect their hard-earned money.
Nebraska’s top 10 scams of 2024
Scammers target people in many ways, but these were the most reported fraud categories in Nebraska last year:
- Imposter scams
- Online shopping
- Home improvement
- Auto scams
- Health/Medical fraud
- Banks & lenders
- Travel scams
- Phone scams
- Identity theft
- Credit card fraud
As scammers develop more sophisticated schemes, staying informed is your best defense. The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office offers free resources to help consumers recognize and avoid scams at ProtectTheGoodLife.Nebraska.gov or call the Consumer Affairs Response Team at 402-471-2682 for assistance.
Want to take fraud prevention a step further? Organizations and schools can request free, in-person presentations on consumer protection topics through the website or by calling (402) 471-3878.
