Scammer Alert!

There’s a new Craigslist scam you should be aware of. People are being tricked by Craiglist ads, looking to hire people to help with “an elderly family member”. Job duties include things like housework, grocery shopping, and running errands, like trips to the bank. Last week, a woman showed up at a bank to withdraw some money for the person who hired her. When she got to the window, the scammer said to put the teller on the phone so they could give them their Account info. Then once the teller was on, they said THIS IS A ROBBERY! And there’s also a second part, where they ask for your bank info, so they can pay you for the errand, and then they steal your money instead. There’s a first class ticket on the hot rails to hell, waiting for people like that!
