It’s been reported from a few sources that a number of areas have been targeted for the “Phone Book Scam”.
As the summer vacation season is coming upon us please be aware of this scam. Men driving around in unmarked vehicles (usually vans) are throwing out free phone books. Usually they are getting tossed outside of a moving vehicle to everyone in a neighborhood.
The van will come around two days after the drop off to see who has not picked up the phone books. People who have not picked up the phone books are then targeted for a robbery that night.
Warning: Be suspicious of any free phone books coming your way, no matter what companies name is on it. If you use VoIP ask yourself, “Should I be getting the ‘Ma Bell’ phone book for free?”.
Be careful this upcoming summer season when you’re on vacation. Ask your neighbors to get anything that gets dropped off on your property
