HOUSTON COUNTY: There are several scams on going that people need to know about.
YOU ARE IN JAIL;
Calls to families their loved ones are in jail and you need to put money on an account for them to make phone calls. But the family is not in jail. DO NOT EVER give your information out to anyone. This particular family, the son who was contacted does not live in Alabama but has an Alabama cell phone number. He called his dad and asked are you and mom in jail? And of course they were not unless you call being at work in jail. The son did not give out any information. According to the caller he contacted the Houston County Sheriff who has been aware of scams and warns people not to give personal information out.
WHEN WILL YOU BE HOME SO WE CAN DELIVER THE PACKAGE;
Some text messages to people asking when they will be home in order to deliver packages. This family that contacted me contacted the Fed Ex carrier. There were no packages being delivered.
CAREFUL on what information you give out. Always verify and careful on who you trust.
