Raúl Labrador

Consumers should be watching for new scams related to utility billing and service.

Attorney General Raul Labrador says his office is working with electrical utility Idaho Power to investigate around four hundred customer accounts which have experienced fraudulent activity, including customer impersonation, fraudulent payment processing and service requests, and more.

Labrador in a news release says investigators suspect the scams are originating overseas with scammers using spoofed phone numbers to appear legitimate.

Customers have reported receiving scam calls from area codes in Chicago, Las Vegas and Atlanta.

Customers are encouraged to monitor their Idaho Power account using the website or the digital app and contact the company directly with questions.

And we visit a candidate forum held last night in the race for Ada County Highway District Commission.

Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador announced he's sued the makers of ChatGPT in state court.

Labrador filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in Ada County District Court this week.

That's according to a news release.

The lawsuit alleges the company violated Idaho's Consumer Protection Act by not disclosing to parents potential harms of its artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, which was first launched in 2022.

Not a lot of details beyond this.

It just tells us that Attorney General Raul Labrador has announced that a Meridian man was charged in Idaho on March fifth, two thousand and twenty-six with four counts of enticing a child.

Investigators with the Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children, ICAC unit, arrested Charles Peterson, fifty-two, on February third, two thousand and twenty-six after receiving a request for assistance from the Layton Police Department on similar charges now pending in Utah.

The charges listed above are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless, and unless proven guilty.

What if part of the problem is liberal hospital attorneys who maliciously interpret the law? It would be nice if the AG would write an explanatory handbook like he has for landlord-tenant laws, explaining to doctors what the law means and when they can utilize abortion.

I wish we had Attorney General Labrador here because I had the exact same thought that maybe...

Maybe that's what's needed.

It may not feel like it's needed, but it might be one of those cases where, and it wouldn't need to be long.

The, I, I have every confidence.

We, we talked to Attorney General Labrador, and he was talking about the donation before we went on.

Senator Risch made reference to it too.

Yes.

Hi, caller, go ahead.

Hi, good morning.

So, uh, enjoyed listening to, uh, Senator Risch and to, uh, Attorney General Labrador yesterday.

But-

We talk to him quite frequently.

But Attorney General Raul Labrador set to join us here in about 25 minutes on News Talk 107.9. It's the Neal Larson Show.

All right, uh, we're back on the Neal Larson Show, 208-542-1079 if you'd like to join us on the program this morning.

A bit- we think it's pretty big breaking news, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is donating $1 million in opposition to Proposition 1 in Idaho.

We'll be back after this.

It's 8:58 now on News Talk 107.9.

In the next hour, Idaho's Attorney General Raul Labrador will join us and, uh, spend some of the hour with us, and we're looking forward to that.

Uh, we also had some big news this morning.
