Part 1:  In this segment of the AARP Maine, Jane Margesson brings in York County Sheriff Bill King to remind and inform our listeners of some of the scams that are happening and targeting people. People need to check the phone number before they call them back. Make sure you are not calling out of the country. Fairpoint has been a great partner to help in getting the word out about some of the phone scams happening. Jane also suggests if you have been scammed, put a freeze on your credit reports at all three different agencies.
Part 2:  Maine Attorney General’s office has a list of some of the scams out there. If you have lost money wiring money through the Western Union scam, there is a website that you can get some of your money back. This is the link to the information.
