Cons, Frauds and Scams
Money Needed for Medicine
A young woman approached an elderly gentleman in a parking
lot. She claimed to have lost her purse and needed $10 for
medicine. The man gave her the $10 and his phone number so she
could pay him back. She continued to call the man and talked him
into giving her close to $30,000.
Please be very careful of
strangers approaching you in parking lots or stores. They have
great stories of why they need your money, but many are nothing
more than con artists.
