CROSE: Updates on scams, both old and new
Crestview Bulletin
Summer is here, temperatures are hot and the criminals are working hard to steal money. It is unfortunate that the people who run scams never seem to quit.
There are several new and many old reworked scams.
There is now an email that claims your credit card on file for Amazon Prime no longer works. “Click here” to put in your information. Of course, the website one is directed to is phony. It may look real, but it is not.
If you have a problem with Amazon, go to their website and update your information there.
Never give your information over the phone or click on the email, as it may be phony.
A NEW ONE
A newer scam is one in which a small business or individual advertises their services through a website, such as Home Advisor.
