Green River Police Officers investigated what is known as “The Green Dot Card Scam”. According to a report, a local citizen received a call saying they had won a large amount of money and a vehicle. In order to receive those winnings the victim needed to pay taxes and shipping. The caller instructed the person to purchase Green Dot Scratch Cards and then transfer money through the Green Dot Cards to the callers account. After sending several hundred dollars the victim realized that she might be the victim of a scam. After she quit transferring the money she began to receive threatening phone calls against her and her property. Officers found the calls were originating from Jamaica. The Green River Police Department encourages citizens to talk with family members including parents and grandparents and remind them not to send money in any form to anyone they do not know. Also, encourage them to call someone they know before sending any money.
Avoiding frauds in the financial sector is a vital task. Scammers do a great harm to people and businesses by deploying their bags of dirty tricks. It is very important for fast money borrowing online as the web gives more chances to criminals.
