Cherokee County Residents Continuing To Report Scam Attempts In The Area

One thing is certain – is seems like scammers are just not going to give up when it comes to trying to steal from unsuspected victims.

On Tuesday WEIS Radio News received yet another report of a local resident which was smart enough to know better when scammers contacted him on several different occasions informing him that he had won $5,000.

The intended victim told WEIS Radio News that the caller had identified himself as John West and even went as far as to give an identification number and ID Code – the caller told the victim that he could either be awarded his money privately or they could bring TV cameras and reporters to his door.
