any problems or complaints. Scam: Wetzel County Residents are receiving calls from someone
offering a new Medicare Card. The caller will try to get your
account information by offering this card. Please be Aware. Scam: Another Scam in our area. This one is a Grandparent Scam and
is targeting the elderly. Someone will call and say they are in
jail or have been in a car wreck and need someone to send them
money. The caller will pose as grandchildren or other family
members. Scam: Someone will call your house and claim to be computer tech
support. Do not give out any personal information or give them
access to your computer. If you receive a phone call claiming to be
from ‘Microsoft’ or someone claiming to work on their behalf,
telling you that you have a virus on your computer or computer
sending out emails and which they will help you fix over the phone
or they need to access your PC remotely to remove illegal software.
It Is A Scam. Hang up the phone, do not let them have remote
control access to your computer and do not give them any
money. |
