Reporting Fraud Allegations
To report Fraud, you may:
-
-
Write an anonymous letter
-
Call 256-2421 to make an appointment to report in person
-
Call the Fraud Hotline at (970) 256-2421 (Callers may be able to remain anonymous) ***
-
When reporting suspecting fraud, please have as much information as possible. For example:
- Name(s) of recipient(s)
- Date of birth
- Social Security number
- Address
- Employer name and address
This information can help to ensure that a thorough investigation is performed. Leaving a call back number is not required, but is helpful because it will allow us to get additional information or clarify the information you provide if we find it necessary to do so.
*** We do everything we can to protect the identity of the reporting party. However, If a case goes to a criminal prosecution (especially if there is a trial), and the information disclosed by the reporting party cannot be independently verified, or if the reporting party becomes a witness in the case, we may be legally obligated to disclose the reporting source. In those instances, the reporting party would be made aware that they are being subpoenaed to testify as a witness.
