ISP Warn of New Scam Targeting Area
June 19, 2019 at 11:03 p.m.
BREMEN – Recently, the Indiana State Police Bremen Post has become aware that there is a new scam that is targeting the area. The scam is unique becuase it arrives in your mail- box instead of your inbox.
This scam allegedly comes from an executive from a bank in a European country that has discovered a large sum of money that you can claim. Most versions of this scam say that a family with your surname has all died in a tragic traffic crash and you are entitled to receive a large sum of money. The letter has contact information so that you can then begin the process to receive the money.
This is a scam and you will end up losing money and pos- sibly your identity as well.
As a reminder, never share personal information or account information; be skeptical of unsolicited offers; don’t deposit checks and wire money back with the promise of more money to come to you; hang up on robocalls; talk to someone you trust.
Be aware and protect yourself from falling victim to a scam.
