Debit/Credit Card Scam
KENTUCKY...
Many people across eastern Kentucky are getting fooled by a scam wanting personal information.
If a caller asks for personal information, after telling you there’s a problem with your debit or credit card, beware. Best to check with your bank to verify this is a legitimate business request. Many in Pike County are finding this is another way of separating you from your money.
Police Officials tell us more than fifteen people in Pike County have received calls asking for their debit or credit card information. Police officials say the calls came from two specific phone numbers. One number came from Los Angeles and one from Chicago.. Those that have been contacted have some advice, beware and check with your bank or law enforcement officials. Pike County Sheriff's Deputies are trying to track down those responsible.
