An elderly couple living in upstate New York found themselves out $24,000 when a scammer claiming to be their grandson called from jail looking for bail money.
Callers are telling New Yorkers they've won a boatload of money and a new vehicle in the Publishers Clearing House but unfortunately, that's not the truth.
There have been several recent reports of telephone calls coming from the 607 area code where a scammer is trying to get people to “donate” to police charity.
He walked around all chummy in tweed caps, an “expert” on the British royal family when he was just a boy from Upstate New York. A boy who duped the world.
It seems when prices get higher or the economy is crazy, there is always a scam to be aware of. This time the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NY DMV) has a new scam that they are warning you about. It has to do with high gas prices and rebates.
