phone scam

Apple users have noticed a growing issue with the "Calendar" app on iOS devices: Fake calendar invites with SPAM links.

Three different text messages that were all scams showed up on my phone last week. You may have received these too but if not, look at the screenshots I grabbed and be ready. Since I didn't bite, these scammers are still very hungry.

The Stoughton Police Department shared details of the scenario in hopes others won't fall for it.

If you live in Illinois and you see one of these area codes pop up on your phone you should never answer the call.

If you live in Stephenson County, police are warning all residents of a phone scam going around.

If you've been on the receiving end of a phone call where the caller says they're  representing the Rockford Police Benevolent and Protective Association (PBPA) Unit 6, you were being called by a phone scammer.

Have you received a call from the Illinois Sheriff's Association? If you have, ignore it.
