“Knowledge Growth” SCAM

You will be contacted by an unknown person to take a simple, non-threatening survey. You agree and answer a few questions. Suddenly, you are contacted again to take another survey and are asked to "Work" for them doing surveys. They will "TRAP" you in a very bad situation with undated checks and other monetary transaction implements. When you finally figure out what they are doing and try to quit, they use the incomplete financial implements (checks, etc) to sue you and possibly have you arrested for wire fraud, etc.

STAY AWAY from this company. They will try to entice you with a free computer and free internet. DON'T BELIEVE IT. It is a SCAM and a trap!!!!

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE !!!

“RELAY FOR LIFE” is Legit, but user may not be !!!

SCAMMERS have no shame and don't care who they hurt. With that in mind, a new twist has been added to their schemes..... RELAY FOR LIFE is a communications system designed to allow people who can not speak or hear to contact others by phone for personal and business reasons. It is done through a third party interpreter. THE BAD GUYS are using this system so there is no direct contact between them and their victims and to add some sympathetic legitimacy to their scam. You receive a call from Relay For Life and the scammer will attempt any one of a dozen scams.  So Please Be Aware---- RELAY FOR LIFE is a legitimate organization, the bad guys are just abusing it. If you feel that you have been scammed through Relay for Life, please contact them and let them know.... Remember - Be Smart-Be Careful-Be Safe.... Sheriff Karl Dailey

When I checked the "header" of the incoming e-mail, the "return path" had nothing to do with the Post Office... I'm 99% sure it was a phishing e-mail and 100% sure it was a scam........So, if you get one of these or something similar, check it out before you "click on the link" !!!   BE CAREFUL - BE SAFE- BE SMART !!      Sheriff Karl Dailey

It’s Spring and the Scammers are Blooming !!

Well folks, It's Spring time and the "Nasty Eggs" are hatching !!   The scammers don't care who you are or what your monetary status is. They will stick you and suck you dry, if you let them. They have no shame or conscience and will use any ploy to separate you from your money and good name.   One of the schemes I hear about is  ---- you get a phone call from a person claiming to be from some Law Enforcement Organization. They say they are collecting funds for kids, ballistic vests, surviving spouses and kids or any one of a hundred other reasons. You tell them that you would like their information so that local LE can check on them or you ask them to mail you their information. They will try to discourage you from doing these things and if you press them, they will get angry at you and / or just hang up.    Remember....  When In Doubt, Check It Out !!!!    Sheriff Karl Dailey
