I know, I write about scams going around and through Rockford and the Rockford area quite a bit. The reason is pretty simple. I'm outraged by what scammers are doing to senior citizens, people who are barely getting by, young people, and families.
If you haven't received a phony email or text from someone purporting to be with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), just be patient because you probably will.
We've been dealing with some extremes around here lately, haven't we? Heavy thunderstorms with power outages, a major heatwave, and now, pavement problems.
