SCAM ALERTS IN SENECA COUNTY - January 2012
Here are some examples of scams that are rampant in Seneca County.
FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS IN DISTRESS. A phone caller will ask residents to send money via western union for a family member or friend in distress. (Accident, Illness, Arrest or other emergency). Usually the scam involves sending the money to another country like Peru. The caller will have names and seem sincere.
SWEEPSTAKES WINNER. A caller or e-mailer will inform that you have won a sweepstakes. Collecting your winnings will involve wiring money for various fees.
BAD CHECK. Residents are sent a check and instructed to cash the check at their bank and then wire money for taxes or fees. The check comes back counterfeit later on.
DATING SERVICES. Predators surf internet, social dating services to look for victims. They then start a relationship with a victim subsequently asking for money to be wired to them. Many times these scams involve another country like Nigeria.
Sheriff Jack Stenberg wants citizens to know that the best way to prevent scams is not to fall for them. If you suspect a scam DO NOT SEND MONEY! Call 911 and ask to speak with law enforcement.
