Phone Scam Alert
 The Lake County Sheriff's Office is urging residents to be alert when speaking to strangers on the phone. Scammers can be very friendly, referring to the victim by first name or asking about their family. The scammer then asks for money to be wired to an account for bond or air fare. The IRS and U.S. Treasury will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone or wire-transfers. If you get a call like this, take down the phone number and tell them you will call them back. Then call your local police agency for assistance in verifying if the call is a scam. |
