Worker's Compensation Scam Targets Spanish Speakers

(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries is warning about a scam that targets Spanish-speaking workers who filed workers compensation claims. It's been reported in other states, with at least one case in Oregon. The scammers pose as government agencies, lawyers or other officials and contact the worker by phone, email or social media message. They may even set up staged online hearings and are told they've won their case, but to receive their settlement, they must pay a fee. BOLI does not charge workers to file a claim or receive benefits, hearings or settlements.
