Scam Alert: Scam Targeting Colorado Workers
The Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation (DOWC) is aware of a scam targeting Colorado workers, in which individuals falsely claim to represent the DOWC or the courts. In these scams, workers are contacted, sometimes by phone, email, or video calls, and told they must pay money to receive workers’ compensation benefits or to settle their claims. These communications may appear official and may falsely identify the caller as a judge, attorney, or government representative. What you should know:
- The DOWC and insurance carriers do not ask for payment to release workers’ compensation benefits. Never pay money up front for benefits or settlements.
- The DOWC will never ask for payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. Be skeptical of any requests for payment and call 303-318-8700 before sending any form of payment.
- Official communications from the DOWC will not pressure you to act or pay immediately.
If you are unsure whether a communication is legitimate, do not send money or personal information. Verify before you act. Our Customer Service team can help verify the status of a workers’ compensation claim and provide guidance:
- Call: 303-318-8700
- Email: cdle_wccustomer_service@state.co.us
- Visit our website: cdle.colorado.gov/dwc
