Scams

The sheriff's office has put the community on alert.

It provides two opportunities to get ripped off.

If you're doing any online holiday shopping, here's a heads-up that Minnesota is one of the states more at risk for online scams this year.

It seems that the more tech-savvy the general public gets, the more scammers endlessly try to use that same technology to their advantage.

This scam was reported a few hours from the Twin Ports but could happen anywhere.

Ordinarily, finding money on your car would be a good thing-- but this time it could mean big trouble in Minnesota.

The incident happened back on March 14th

Three similar incidents have been reported in recent weeks.

One of the scams involved a pop-up ad, and the other involved a Facebook ad.

It appears as an innocent text that sounds like the person got the wrong number, but they hope it lures you into a conversation, then a scam.
