Our office received a call from a Fremont Township resident regarding a ruse attempted on her family. A driver in a white pick up truck approached the resident and acted as if he knew the homeowner. He then said there was a dispute about the property line and asked the gentleman to get his wife out of the house to look at the property line with him. The homeowner knew the fence was on the property line, there was no dispute over it and this was an attempt to distract him. These ruse burglaries are common. While most of us are aware of the IRS and Microsoft scams, new scams keep coming. Click here to see other scams.
