Citizens of Anna we are bringing two new fraud warnings for your safety:
First, a new scam is coming through Facebook notification emails advising people they are being charged for purchasing adult materials. The scam then instructs individuals to call their phone provider to fix the issue and provides a link to call.
This link connects you to the scam artists who claims to work for the FTC, demands cash via wire, and claims they will provide you with new documents to clear your identity fraud.
Please reach out to your friends, family, and neighbors and warn them of this new scam. Remind them that any link, including a phone number, should not be trusted even if it comes from a known sender.
The second new fraud is check thefts from the mail. Please keep an eye on any checks you send in the mail that they arrive at their intended destination and you are only charged for the amount you sent. Again, please warn your friends, family and loved ones about this issue.
A big thanks to Southern Bank of Anna for letting us know about this issue. We appreciate all our partnerships which help keep our community and our citizens safe.
As always, stay safe.
