About this episode

The episode discusses scams targeting Spanish-speaking Wisconsinites involving fake worker’s comp hearings.

Scammers are targeting Spanish-speaking Wisconsinites with fake worker’s comp hearings—using bogus .org emails, Zoom/WhatsApp calls, and even fake judges and lawyers to trick victims into believing they’re in an official court case. The Wisconsin DWD warns: real hearings are only scheduled via official written letters, and all lawyers must be licensed in Wisconsin. Calls from DWD agencies will always come from Wisconsin area codes. If you suspect fraud, contact a worker’s comp specialist at 608-266-1340.
