Powerball Scam

In the past, some senior residents have received calls from con artists stating that the senior

had won $5000 in the Powerball lottery game and they needed to call to claim their prize.  

Anyone receiving such a call should immediately question its legitimacy because how would the

caller know that they had won a prize; only the ticket holder knows that information. When the

target victims called the number back, the con artist wanted their credit card and bank account

numbers before they could claim their prize.  Please do not give out this information or any other

personal information over the telephone if you don't know who is on the line.
