Attorney General Richard Blumenthal warned Connecticut consumers again to never give out bank account or credit card information over the telephone. Attorney General Blumenthal's warning comes in response to a new telephone scam in which scammers offer hundreds of dollars worth of bogus shopping vouchers or gift certificates from stores, such as J.C. Penney and Kmart. The scammers then ask consumers to provide their bank information in order to quickly pay a $4.95 processing fee. The information is then used to withdraw much larger amounts from consumers' bank accounts.
