Due to the recent increase in victims reporting fraud / scams, the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office wants to send a reminder to exercise caution. Below is a list of strategies used by criminals and criminal enterprises to access funds:
*Corrupt Emails / Internet interruptions or "pop ups"
*Incoming cellular calls
*Incoming Text Messages
*Intercepted mail containing written personal checks
*Online purchases
*IRS tax refunds
*Social Media Relationship Requests
*Bitcoin
*Corrupt Emails / Internet interruptions may come in the form of a "pop up" locking your computer. It will inform you that shutting off your computer will cause a loss of computer data and advise you of a number to call. This pop up may also instruct you to enter a credit card to rectify the alleged virus. Do not follow any of these instructions or enter personal financial information. They would not be asking for additional information if they already had what they needed. Make sure you have your computer backed up and shut it off regardless of what they’re advising you.

*Receiving incoming cellular calls has been the most popular. These calls can come in the form of representatives advising you that you have an outstanding arrest warrant. They will identify themselves as an officer which is often an actual local officer's name they have researched online. If you have a warrant, typically you're going to be aware of it and we will come to you...no one is going to call you. The calls may also inform you that you have missed jury duty and payment will prevent incarceration or you have a family member in need of emergency surgery which requires payment to proceed. Never provide your debit/credit card information over the phone unless you have made the call and you're confident who you're speaking to.

*Incoming Text Messages- any unexpected/unknown texts with URL links are typically scam attempts. The most recent example is fraudulent requests for traffic tolls. Do not open links from unknown sources.

*Intercepted mail has become increasingly popular. Suspects steal or obtain your outgoing mail and use a chemical wash to remove the ink. The “Pay to the Order of” section is changed to an account fraudulently opened by the suspect. The check typically gets cashed through a mobile deposit. Generally, this is an account set up temporarily using fraudulent information or to an overseas criminal enterprise.

*“Too good to be true” items for sale on posts or marketplace are typically fraudulent and are literally, too good to be true.

*IRS Tax Refunds should only be done through protected sites set up and researched by you. Do not complete your taxes on “pop-up” links. Using a tax professional in person is typically the safest option.

*Social Media relationships are a growing trend suspects are using to extort money using vulnerability. Those individuals seeking on-line relationships should confirm who they are associating with through research. Meeting in-person is the best way to confirm you are engaging with the individual you’re communicating with. However, always use caution to prevent placing yourself in danger with a violent predator. You should NEVER send money, gift cards, bitcoin, or any forms of currency during an on-line only relationship. If they are asking you for money, you are likely not talking to who you think you are.

*In closing, make sure you have fraud protection set up on all your financial accounts. Do not provide personal information to anyone you do not personally know and run credit checks occasionally to ensure you are not compromised. If anyone is advising you that their request for funds is through Bitcoin, it’s almost always fraudulent.
