Scammers be scamming!

There are many, many scams out there. Some are more convincing than others. Here are some things to remember:

1. The Sheriff's Office will never call you and ask for money
2. Anyone asking for money in some sort of gift card form is likely a scam
3. You didn't win a prize that requires you to pay some in first
4. If you're selling something and someone sends you a check for way too much, it's a scam. Don't cash or deposit the check
5. The IRS is not going to call you for your back taxes

Stay diligent friends.
