Phone Scam

Apple users have noticed a growing issue with the "Calendar" app on iOS devices: Fake calendar invites with SPAM links.

Three different text messages that were all scams showed up on my phone last week. You may have received these too but if not, look at the screenshots I grabbed and be ready. Since I didn't bite, these scammers are still very hungry.

The Stoughton Police Department shared details of the scenario in hopes others won't fall for it.

If you live in Illinois and you see one of these area codes pop up on your phone you should never answer the call.

If you get a call from ISP it's probably a scam.

If you live in Stephenson County, police are warning all residents of a phone scam going around.

You really have to be careful because there are so many scams and here's the latest one coming to the Stateline area.

If your cell phone or home phone rings and someone at the other end asks "Can you hear me?" hang up now.

Not even one week in to 2017 and there's a new scam you need to know about. Please read this before giving your hard-earned money to the wrong person.

Have you received a call from the Illinois Sheriff's Association? If you have, ignore it.
