The scammers are calling residents in our community every day. If caller ID does not show someone you know, or if it shows a government agency you have not contacted, let it go to voicemail. A legitimate caller will leave a message The best way to avoid being scammed is to not answer phone calls from persons or businesses you do not recognize.
Lately scam emails have been coming in purporting to be from Amazon Prime. They ask that you call an 800 number if you did not order the item or want to cancel a subscription. The red flag is that the sender’s email address is a Gmail account. Other email scams supposedly from a store like Best Buy claim you have won a prize. Again, no matter how legitimate it looks, check the sender’s email address. Do Not click on links or reply. Just DELETE. The delete key is your friend.
Avoid automated phone calls:
Sign up for nomorobo.com which will screen out most automated phone calls. Free on landlines, approximately $2/month for mobiles. Unfortunately this does not work on hard-wired phone service.
When Nomorobo detects a robocall, it is transferred away. The phone will ring once or twice so wait for 3rd ring to answer.
