(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin Consumer Protection is looking for people who might have accidentally paid for a fake version of an official Foodshare mobile app.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Administrator Michelle Reinen says scammers uploaded a phony version of the E B T Edge program last month. The real EBT Edge app is used to navigate SNAP or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and it has black, white, and yellow egg icons on it.

The phony app was charging people 5 dollars a week or 60 dollars for a one time fee. If you encountered the fake app or paid the scammers, contact Consumer Protection at 800 422 7128.
