Albuquerque, NM – Today, Attorney General Hector Balderas issued a Scam Alert regarding callers posing as officers of a "Consumer Protection Agency," who have been telling New Mexicans they've won hundreds of thousands of dollars in a sweepstakes allegedly conducted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The supposed winners are told they must first pay money to cover taxes, insurance and/or courier fees in order to claim their "prize." The scammers are asking New Mexicans to send or wire upwards of $3,500 in order to claim their fictitious "prize."
