State Warns Residents About Phishing Emails Disguised As Official Messages

Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection is alerting people about fake emails posing as agency communications. The scams try to steal personal information and money, copying state branding and even claiming to be from enforcement staff. Officials say to watch for altered email domains, vague messages and suspicious links. All real state emails end in “ct.gov.” Anyone unsure should verify through the agency’s website and avoid clicking anything in the message.
