The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has issued a warning about scammers claiming to represent ‘CDFI’ using misleading email addresses such as [email protected] and [email protected].
These fraudulent emails are part of a broader scam where individuals are attempting to impersonate legitimate financial institutions or organizations. The DFPI advises consumers to be cautious with unsolicited emails and verify the authenticity of any correspondence claiming to be from financial regulatory bodies.
Consumers are encouraged to report such incidents to the DFPI to help track and prevent these scams. The department continues to monitor the situation and provide updates to protect consumers from financial fraud.
