Scammers strike in Ashley

An elderly Ashley woman recently was bilked out of $7,000 by a phone scammer.

 

McIntosh County Sheriff Laurie Spitzer said the woman was told she needed to pay some fees upfront to collect a multi-million dollar prize from Publisher’s Clearing House. 

 

Spitzer said seniors are especially vulnerable to phone scams, because scammers usually target them the most.

 

She encourages everyone to discuss potential scams with elderly family members and to monitor their finances.
