Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt and the Bureau of Consumer Protection are warning Nevada residents to be on the alert for notario scams. These scams often take advantage of unsuspecting people looking for immigration assistance and other legal issues. While Notaries Public or “Notario Publico” may perform duties of attorneys in Spanish-speaking countries, those in the United States are not allowed to practice law, give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice. Call NHP dispatch at 775-687-0400.
