Some New Scams Hit The QC Area
If there is one thing I hate it's scams. At this point many of us are use to these dumb calls, and don't fall for them, and yet they keep happening. Clearly there are enough people falling for the old ones for those to keep going strong, but now we have newer ones that have hit us.
These usually target older and younger people. People ages 80+ or kids aged 9-15. Scammers really don't care how they get your info they just want it.
Scams
These scams may grow in number or die out depending on how successful they are. the best way to beat a scam is make sure people are aware of it, and not fall for it. You can also report scams, but just making sure they don't get your information is an important first step.
