Nearly scammed
On Thursday, Dec. 19, shortly after noon, a resident of Old Logging Road came to headquarters to report they were contacted by an unknown individual who told the caller her social security number had been fraudulently used to rent apartments and open bank accounts. She was advised by this person to withdraw $35,000 from her account and put it in a box to be picked up by “a representative.” She was told she would be issued a new social security number at which time she would get her money back. Instead she came to the police department where she was advised this was a scam.
