phone scam

Have you ever received a call like this?

This is happening right now in Southeast Minnesota! #IdentityThefit #Warning #PleaseShareWithFamilyMembers

Three different text messages that were all scams showed up on my phone last week. You may have received these too but if not, look at the screenshots I grabbed and be ready. Since I didn't bite, these scammers are still very hungry.

This scammer did their homework.

Some of the area codes on these calls can be a clear red flag you should be aware of, as they are most likely coming from foreign scammers.

The scam includes graphic images and videos.

Public safety officials are warning Minnesotans about a new phone scam circulating in the state.

This scam was reported a few hours from the Twin Ports but could happen anywhere.

Be aware a new phone scam has been reported in Northern MN.

If it's not, you should consider adding it to help reduce unwanted calls.
