Licensees, we want to warn you of a new scam that might try to target your personal information. The scammers send you a letter that appears to be from IDFPR, stating your license has been suspended. You are then asked to call a phone number included in the letter.
IDFPR uses a deliberate enforcement process and does not suspend licenses just by sending a letter. If you receive a letter like this, do not call the phone number.
You can confirm the status of your license by using IDFPR’s licensing lookup tool: https://online-dfpr.micropact.com/lookup/licenselookup.aspx
