The Evansville Police Department issues a warning to Evansville and Vanderburgh County residents to be aware of a man claiming to be deputy sheriff looking to scam them out of money.
Reports of scams involving computer problems, back taxes, and the always popular, credit card fraud, have led the EPD to issue a warning through their Facebook page.
We have all seen the little cameras on top of traffic signal arms and they can be somewhat annoying. It is possible to escape a fine because the camera failed to catch you, but if you are caught, you will probably pay the fine without even thinking about it. That is exactly what scammers are hoping for and they are counting on you to be lazy and not do a little fact checking.
