Illinois Unemployment Claim
I was furloughed for 2 weeks in May 2020 and filed for unemployment . I rec’d my unemployment payments direct deposited without any issue. However, I did, later in the year, receive a debit card. In response, I froze my credit. Last week, I received a TEXT from 855.949.3841 stating “Illinois Department Action required Your driver license required to File an Unemployment Claim. Visit at: ______” I did not respond to the text but kept a picture of the text. I just wanted to let you know about another possible fraud. Thank you for all you do!!

Yep — this seems to be another identity theft scam revolving around unemployment. Please do everything on this list!
