Police remind everyone to BE AWARE OF COMMON FRAUDSTER TECHNIQUES – if someone asks you to wire-transfer money or put money on a gift card and give them the gift card information, STOP! NEVER PAY SOMEBODY WITH A GIFT CARD OVER THE PHONE – gift cards are for gifts and should not be used to give money to scammers.
