Attorney General Keith Ellison issued a warning to Minnesotans about how to spot – and avoid – a pyramid scheme selling fake e-scooters. This warning is part of the Attorney General’s Scam Stopper series, aiming to help protect Minnesota consumers from common scams.

“I encourage Minnesotans to be on the lookout for e-scooter pyramid schemes and to report them to my office if you do come across one. Be wary of business ventures that require you to recruit friends to make money, don’t invest in products you’ve never seen, and don’t let salespeople pressure you into making decisions before you do your research. Most importantly, remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” – AG Ellison
