Stamford Police Warn Of Fraud Scams Involving Unemployment Benefits

STAMFORD, CT — The Stamford Police Department said in a Facebook post over the weekend that it has seen a significant number of fraud cases recently that involve unemployment benefits or other types of fraud associated with the CT Department of Labor.
