Be Aware

They are at it again….or still.

Scammers and their scams. They don’t give up.

The woman who received the texts said, “They use every trick in the book using your emotions and love for family members – asking for help – send EMT – which ends up going to the scammers. It’s not loved ones it’s scammers that are the people contacting innocents not family. They text you on the WhatsApp and they are very convincing and crafty.”
