Be mindful of classified scams
Especially during the holidays, member newspapers are mindful to be cautious as the number of scam advertisements from bogus customers rises. A number of newspaper associations across the country are reporting attempts by individuals to place classified advertisements that list no phone number for readers to call for more information. They only list email or Web page addresses that end up attempting to hook unsuspecting readers or “phish” them for purposes of the scam.
If you have questions or concerns about advertisements from unrecognized sources, contact our office for any information we may have on known scams and fraud techniques.
