New Phone Scam Coming To Tampa
Police in Pinellas Park have run across a new scam. It starts when you find a note on the door of your home. The note says that the person who wrote it has lost a phone and through using the GPS in the phone, they have discovered that it is inside your home. The note goes on to say that before calling the police, they would rather just drop by and pick up the phone personally. Truth is, there is no phone and it’s not pinging from your home. The scammers are trying to gain access to your home to burglarize it or worse. Pinellas Police say to never let anyone into your home that you do not know. They also say that there have been no reports of such a scam in the area yet, but they want to get ahead of the curve and make residents aware of it before they become affected by it. If you ever find such a note on your home or car, you should report it to the police immediately. – Sean Roberts
