Beware of telephone scammers asking for money

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bill and Roben Coury for the information in this story.)

Bill and Roben Coury, organizers of the Lima Township Neighborhood Watch, are letting folks know that the “scammers are at it again.”

Phone scammers are targeting grandparents and college students with fraudulent claims, and asking people to send money. They are claiming several different reasons for needing money to be sent from “I had a car accident, to I am in jail, will you help me?”

If anyone contacts you saying that they need money sent to them, you should investigate thoroughly before you send money, and let police know about the call.
