Phishing scam hits locals
April 25, 2012
BRIMLEY — Bay Mills Police Department is reporting that a phishing
scam aimed at swindling residents out of money and placing them in the middle
of a shipping stolen goods investigation has hit home.
Officers are asking anyone who receives mysterious packages
or is contacted by individuals unbeknownst to them, either through email or a
chat room, to contact the police. The parties involved in this scheme are
manipulating personal information from individuals and gaining trust in order
to get access to monies or access to personal information in order to ship
stolen goods overseas. The suspects are posing as people seeking friendship and
eventually begin asking for money to visit or take care of an emergency. Anyone
being contacted by someone questionable should take caution. Do not reveal your
full name, address, phone number, etc.
“If it appears to good to be true, it likely
is,” said Bay Mills Police Officer Paul Baragwanath. “And this is an
international scam, so recouping any loss is unlikely and out of our hands.”
