Sheriff warns of scams at Senior Day

Posted

Anytime an unknown person on the phone tries to get you to send them money, it’s likely a scam, according to Laclede County Sheriff David Millsap.

Millsap shared some common sense tips for avoiding cons at Tuesday’s Senior Day at the Laclede County Fair. The annual event for senior citizens is held at the Cowan Civic Center and includes booths and exhibits from local businesses and agencies.

Speaking in the Cowan Civic Center Exhibit Hall, Millsap said scam calls can include people claiming the person has won a sweepstakes or that a close relative is in jail and needs bond money.
