The Cannabis Control Board has been made aware of several incidents of alleged fraud involving fake adult-use cannabis retailers.
These fake listings use online search engines and mapping to list a cannabis establishment that does not actually exist. This scam operates by accepting online orders on a website, sending consumers to a false location after their money has already been taken. These fake business listings have appeared throughout the State of Vermont.
Consumers who have been victim to this scam should report it to the Vermont Attorney General.
