Press Release04-02-2013
The O’Neill Police Department would like to caution the public regarding various scams and fraudulent activity. Every year, thousands of people from across the nation fall victim to forms of scams or telemarketing fraud. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) encourages you to be skeptical of phone solicitations. Some methods in which you could be contacted are by telephone, mail, e-mail, internet, or broadcast and print advertisements. These callers and literature can be very persuasive and sound authentic, so remember never give personal information such as credit card, checking account or Social Security number information to an unknown caller or solicitor. A good rule of thumb is “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” For additional information regarding scams, contact the O’Neill Police Department at 402-336-1313, the Federal Trade Commission at 1-887-FTC-HELP or online at www.ftc.gov, or the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office at 1-800-727-6432, or online at www.ago.ne.gov.
