Consumer Alert: Fake Auto Insurance Calls

 PRESS RELEASE: Wyoming Secretary of State's Office – Consumer Warning

State Capitol – The Wyoming Secretary of State Max Maxfield is issuing an urgent consumer warning. The Secretary of State's office is being misrepresented in automated telephone solicitations across the state. Wyomingites are receiving telephone solicitations which lead people to believe the Secretary of State has released information which shows they may be eligible for changes to their auto insurance. "This is completely false! My office does not have any such information about consumers. We certainly do not endorse any particular type of auto insurance." Maxfield said.

The phone number the call "appears" to originate from begins with a 307 area code leading people to believe the call is from a Wyoming company. Secretary Maxfield urges individuals to be cautious when receiving these types of phone solicitations.
