A new local identity theft scam has local law enforcement concerned and they want to warn Morongo Basin residents. With this important tip, here is Sheriff’s service specialist Anita Baker…
Recently, the Sheriff’s Department has responded to several reports of harassing phone calls and identity theft. The caller is telling the victims that they are a credit collection agency collecting on a delinquent account. They refuse to give any information other than to tell the victim to pay for the debt over the phone with a credit card to avoid further late fees. The Sheriff’s Department reminds the public not to give out any pertinent personal information over the telephone to anyone at anytime.
