Scams

There have been several new scams going on in our area. For one scam, they will send you a fraudulent check and have you deposit it in your account. They will then try to have you wire money to them with a promise that they will send you prize money back. They usually say that the money you send them is for processing fees and taxes. This is ALWAYS a scam! Once you wire the money out to somewhere, you cannot get it back and you become responsible for the repayment of the fraudulent check.

Another scam that has been happening lately is a place calls and tells you that you have won a contest to get your credit card paid off. They get your information and make a payment on your card that will not clear. They then have all of your credit information and other personal information on top of that.

The best thing you can do is always protect your personal information. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
