Fraud Alert – Tuesday, March 19, 2013 – Lacey Township
Telephone Fraud Attempt - On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. a resident of Forked River reported that she received a phone call from someone identifying himself as an employee from Microsoft and informing her there was a problem with her computer. The supposed “employee” asked her to allow him to remotely access her home computer. The complainant did not feel comfortable giving this supposed “employee” any information and when she told him that, the supposed "employee" hung up the phone. The complainant called back the number on her caller ID and it came back to “Tiger Direct.” The representative for Tiger Direct advised the complainant that no one in their company had made the call and the subject that made the call must have disguised his Caller ID for “Tiger Direct” to show up. Residents should be aware that callers can reset their Caller ID to display anything, therefore, a Caller ID should not be considered verification that a call is legitimate. Features such as *57 or *69 after you disconnect are sometimes helpful in tracing or calling back a suspicious caller.
Fraud Alert – Monday, March 18, 2013 – Lacey Township
Fraud - A Forked River resident reported that he wired $8,700.00 to an account in Georgia through what he believed was “Google Wallet” for the purchase of a vehicle. The victim saw the vehicle on Craig’s List and believed he was buying it from a legitimate person (from Nebraska) with whom he exchanged several emails. After the money was wired, the victim never received the delivery of the truck to his residence, and his emails were no longer being responded to by the person who perpetrated the fraud. The victim contacted Google and they told him that they had nothing to do with this purchase, and he was apparently the victim of a fraud. Frauds of this nature are very common. Residents should be aware and make every effort to confirm the validity of a transaction before wiring or sending money.
