Q: I keep getting messages about me having unemployment benefits waiting for me, would like to see if this is true

A: It is always best to contact your local unemployment office to confirm if benefits are indeed pending for you. Never respond to any of these messages with your personal information before getting in touch with the actual office, as many of these messages are likely to be phishing scams or other malicious attempts to steal personal information.
