CONCORD — Attorney General John M. Formella issued a Consumer Alert warning New Hampshire residents about a recent report of scammers sending a fraudulent letter purporting to be from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office to a New Hampshire resident.
The fraudulent letter appears to be issued on Attorney General’s Office official letterhead and falsely purports to be signed by New Hampshire’s Deputy Attorney General. The letter falsely claims that the recipient’s identity has been used in connection with a purchase through an online retailer. The letter falsely claims that the Attorney General’s Office is investigating the “unsanctioned transaction” and seeks the resident’s cooperation. The letter warns that any of the resident’s accounts (financial and non-financial) linked with the resident’s Social Security number will be shut down.
