Attorney Scam Warning
(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Attorney General's Office is warning of a new scam targeting attorneys and their clients. In one case, the scammer impersonated a real attorney to get a client to make investments. In the other case, the scammer knew the victim was going to receive a large settlement and impersonated both the victim and the attorney to get 700 thousand dollars. A hold was placed on the wire transfer, but it's unknown how much, if any, money was recovered. The AG's office says it's important to be extremely cautious with any transfer of money.
