Montana State Auditor James Brown uncovered the largest Obamacare fraud in state history. Bad actors came in to take advantage of our most vulnerable population while advertising themselves as “here to help” and trafficking them out of state, eventually abandoning them. Listen for more details.
Fraudsters and scammers are just as scary as ghosts and ghouls... and they're REAL.
🎵 If there's someone strange in your texts or calls, who ya gonna call? Fraudbusters! 🎵
Happy Halloween from the Auditor's Office 🎃
The best way to avoid becoming the victim of fraud is to know how to spot it in the first instance.
Fraudsters are constantly inventing new schemes, but they rely on the same core tactics to manipulate victims.

Today we celebrated the retirement of one of our compliance specialists, Karen.
Thank you for 18 years of public service to the people of Montana!
We wish you the best and will miss you.
I’m glad to see @montanastate preparing the next gen of financial planners to address the particular needs of Montana families!
We need good planners who can help Montanans pay their bills, save for their kids’ education, and invest for retirement.

My agency is doing a campus tour to inform Montana college students about the threat of fraud.
We'll be at the University of Montana on November 18th with pizza, drinks, and a documentary film📽️
All college students are welcome, and we'll be announcing other campus visits soon!
👀"State insurance regulators in Montana say they are receiving complaints [about 'limited partner' plans] from state residents who expected quality health insurance coverage but instead ended up with denied coverage for many medical expenses."

⚠️🖥️ We increasingly hear about cyberattacks and data breaches in the news, but did you know that cyber insurance can help cover losses from those incidents?
As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, take some time to learn more about cyber insurance:

Joined KGEZ radio this morning to discuss fraud issues.
Thankfully, Montana victims of securities fraud can receive up to $50,000 in restitution.
If your case hasn't been investigated by my agency but you think you might qualify for assistance, contact us at 406-444-2040.
💵Montana’s Securities Fraud Restitution Fund is a critical tool for helping victims recover from fraud.
By securing additional funding through these enforcement settlements, my agency can help more Montanans who have had their lives upended by bad actors get back on their feet.

The mission is simple: fight fraud, protect Americans.
Join the fight and report fraud at Fraud.Gov.
While radical Democrats refuse to stop the misuse of taxpayer dollars, the Trump Administration has uncovered more than $260 billion in fraud and is holding criminals accountable.
Join the fight. Report fraud today at Fraud.Gov.
Flooding can strike any time of year here in Montana, and it's critical to be prepared before it happens.
Now, it's easier than ever to purchase a National Flood Insurance Program policy via the new self-service tool on Floodsmart.gov.
Let's keep America resilient 🇺🇸💪
🚨 Montana customers of Wells Fargo and Merrill Lynch who were charged unreasonable commissions on equity transactions and trades will receive restitution checks in the near future as part of a multistate settlement with the firms.

The @VP has been doing an incredible job leading the @WHFraudTF and I am proud that 22 of our state financial officers at @SFOF_States have joined the fight.
Do you hate fraud?
If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that:
1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them.
2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters.
3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars.
4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door.
5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars.
6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.
I've made fighting fraud here in Montana a top priority since being elected State Auditor.
I’m proud to join @VP’s pledge and work alongside the @WHFraudTF to fight fraud, increase oversight, and bring fraudsters who steal from taxpayers to justice.
