What to do if I’m being charged with falsely filling out an unemployment form and now owe $1,800 in overpayments?

I was on unemployment from a full-time job that I held for 3 years. While recieving unemployment, I worked a seasonal job for 1 week. I called the unemployment phone number so they could update my information with this seasonal job. The person on the phone told me how to fill everything out and said I was all set. How is this possible when I did everything I was told to do? Ple
