Officials with the Page County Sheriff’s Office say they have received complaints of a scam call going around in the area.  The caller states that the person contacted is in trouble with the Federal Government and is given a number to contact within a short time period or they will be jailed. Sheriff Lyle Palmer says “This is definitely a scam.  Law Enforcement does not contact persons in this manner.  Do not call the number given nor give any information to the caller.”

Another scam is a robo-call stating your Itunes account has been breached. The voice leaves a message telling you return the call to protect your account. Apple does not call its customers to tell them there is a problem. If you have any doubts as to the status of your account, log-in as normal as see if you have any messages, or your designated customer service rep on their official line.
