Scammers!!!! Everyday they become more sneaky in their shady ways. Always remember no legitimate organization will demand payment. Especially in gift cards or crypto currency. If ever in doubt hang up and call the police. There is no reason to be embarrassed or scared. NEVER give out personal information via phone or email to unknown people. I wish I could list all of the current scams but there isn’t enough world data. If you follow the simple steps above your money should be safe.

Strong winds that moved through the area are likely to have left small debris scattered about. Use caution when traveling roadways with significant tree coverage.
