[ARCHIVED] Be Wary of Phone Scams

Scam Alert - PPD PHONE.jpg

Officers have taken reports of individuals who were contacted by a male stating he was a family member and asking for money to get out of legal trouble in Mexico. Other reports have been taken where the caller acts like he is with a credit card company and another acting like he is with social security attempting to get personal information. The recipients of these calls were all aware enough to not become victims of fraud. The callers are targeting older individuals between the ages of 60-80. As a reminder, do not give out your personal information to anyone who calls. Legitimate companies will more than likely already have that information. If in doubt about any call, get the business name and name of the person calling and call them back with a phone number you locate off your billing statements, from a phone book or off the internet. This simple step will help you avoid becoming a victim of fraud.
