Description

Got a call from someone identifying itself as a employee from Department of Professional Regulations, knowing my name and asking about my cosmetology license. I do not have a cosmetology license but a counseling license in the state of IL. I contacted the IL Dep of Prof. Regulations and was told no one from the department made any calls to me. I am concerned it’s a fraud as in the building I work there is a cosmetologist.
