Attorney General Dana Nessel is warning consumers to watch out for a new credit card scam, according to a press release. The resident, who reported the scam to the Nessel's Consumer Protection Department, said they received a call from a scammer who insisted that a new Michigan law had been passed which dissolves credit card debt — as long as a person's credit card number, expiration date, security code and ZIP code were provided. "Scammers are relentless and will try anything they can to steal your credit card information. Especially with tax season approa****g, I cannot stress enough how important it is that we all stay hyper vigilant when it comes to protecting ourselves," Nessel said. - Adverti*****t - Top Articles Trump remains dominant force in GOP following acquittalPioneering Hollywood casting director Lynn Stalmaster dies****ord couple married 71-years still cele***ting Valentine’s Day in lockdownLong-term care residents em***ce vaccines while awaiting visitations when numbers improve A bleak Valentine's Day, lovers find hope in roses, vaccinesReferendum on Michigan's propane commission to be held Long‑term care residents em***ce vaccines while awaiting visitations when numbers improve "Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," she said.
