BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley warns about scammers posing as government officials and law enforcement pressuring people to buy gold bars and hand them over for safekeeping, but they’re never returned.
Wrigley says scammers may even send fake documents to gain people’s trust.
“No real government agent will ever tell you to buy gold bars, move your money, or hand over gold or cash to someone,” Wrigley said in a statement obtained by Flag Family News.
Wrigley adds similar scams involving online investment in gold or cryptocurrency are on the rise.
If you believe you’re being scammed, call the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 701-328-3404.
