DON’T FALL PREY TO THE LATEST FAKE AMAZON SCAM
Northfield Police warn our community members of a Larceny by Trick scheme

If you receive a call from someone identifying themselves as an Amazon representative or Amazon Cyber Security agent and they inform you that charges were attempted against your account –

DO NOT GIVE THE CALLER ACCESS TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
DO NOT LET THE CALLER TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER
DO NOT PAY OFF ANY “OVER-PAYMENT” WITH GIFT CARDS

If you have made a purchase through pay pal or your credit card and your statement reflects a discrepancy with the charges, you can dispute the charges at that time with the credit company.

AGAIN -- NEVER PAY ANYONE WITH GIFT CARDS!! Gift cards are for gifts, they were not meant to be a means of payment. On Line transactions should be paid with credit cards, allowing rebates, refunds and corrections on purchases – to be credited.

NEVER give out information on your financial accounts to anyone contacting you by phone.

ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING AND BLACK FRIDAY!
