Another Scam Reported In Minnesota
While phone scams or text message scams can be scary in their own way, they always take a turn for the scarier when scammers approach others in person. Such is the case with a new scam reported right here in Minnesota.
This scam was reported in White Bear Lake Township, which is just a few hours from the Twin Ports.
How The Scam Works
According to officials with White Bear Township, locals have been reporting a water quality notice hanging on their front door. The notice scares customers because it says that they have already tried to contact them at least two times, causing a sense of panic.
The fake water quality notice claims to be from a local company. However, the logo on the fake form does not match the real logo of the company, so it is likely that the scammer just used a well-known company to make it appear real.
