Beware of Fraudulent Text and Email Messages
DWD WILL NOT send a text or email message asking you to click a link to receive benefits or any type of payment. Clicking on the link and providing personal information (for example your username, password, or social security number) will give fraudsters the ability to sign in to your accounts or sell your information on the dark web.
Be Aware of ID.me Fraudulent Messages
Please be aware of a new scam where fraudsters attempt to impersonate ID.me. ID.me ONLY operates through the ID.me website. Websites like “your-id-me.com” or other derivatives ARE NOT connected to ID.me. ID.me will not ask for personal information via messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger.
To report fraudulent messages, please send a screenshot of the message to the DWD Contact Center: AskUIContactCenter@dwd.in.gov
