ATTENTION | Scammers Threatening Licensees With False Allegations of Drug Trafficking
DOPL has recently received reports that a fraudulent letter is being distributed to APRNs, threatening suspension of their professional license due to allegations of illegal drug trafficking.
This letter is especially concerning because it carries the DOPL logo, the official state seal, and the agency’s contact information.
DOPL communicates with licensees several times before suspending or revoking a license. If you receive a suspicious letter that fits this description, do not give any personal financial information over the phone. Call DOPL directly at (801) 530-6628 or email b7@utah.gov to verify the letter’s authenticity.
