Cons, Frauds and Scams
Gas Coupon Scam
A resident received a call from someone claiming to be with
Chevron/Texaco offering $200 in free gas coupons. The caller
instructed the resident to write a check to give to the UPS man
when the gas coupons were delivered. The caller also asked for
the name of the resident's bank. Fortunately the resident
refused to give the caller any information and hung up. When
Chevron/Texaco was contacted they verified they were not
offering free gas coupons.
Once again, do not give personal
information over the telephone unless you initiate the call.
