Graham County — A local man had the means to contact law enforcement before he lost money in a scam.
The man contacted the Graham County Sheriff’s Office and said he had received a message claiming that child pornography had been found on his computer. If he doesn’t pay the “fine” soon, he could be arrested.
The agent confirmed the scam but was unable to contact the scammer.
The Arizona Attorney General’s Office lists several types of fraud that the public should be wary of.
● Charity fraud
● Predatory lending
● Debt collection
Door-to-door sales
● Internet auction
● House renovation plan
Sweepstakes and lotteries
● Travel fraud
●Moving scam
If you receive any unsolicited communication about a situation requiring you to send money or share financial information, you should disconnect immediately and contact local law enforcement.
