State Police say there’s a scam going on at ATM machines. The way the scam works is, the con artist tells a person at an ATM machine that they are unable to get their money, and asks the person at the ATM, to do a withdrawal – after that, the scam artist takes the money from the victim.
Also, Sheriff Jim Allard says a scam has been going on in the Corning area, where scam artists pretend to be texting from a local bank saying that you need to click on a link and change your account information. Allard says this is a scam – and says to never give out that kind of information when texting or from a phone call. Call the bank, the sheriff says, to verify anything like that.
