Pike County Mo Sheriff Stephen Korte reported ss the economy continues to slump he encourage
people to be on the lookout for scams. If it sounds to good to be true
it probably is. Also be aware of a new scam,
some will call and claim to be a family member, usually someone who
lives out of state or traveling, and claim to need money and ask that
it be wired to them. Most scammers use blocked
phone numbers but if you receive information you can pass on either go
to the MO Attorney Generals website at http://ago.mo.gov/ or contact local law enforcement.
