The Avery County Sheriff's Office received information of a fraudulent SCAM that is recirculating again.
The caller will advise you that you have won a brand new vehicle or offer you a brand new vehicle. They will instruct you that in order to receive the vehicle, you must first send Apple cards or I-TUNES cards or some other card valued at $500.00 or more. They will request that you upload the card through text or E-mail to them in order for them to send you the vehicle.
This is a SCAM!
Anytime you are contacted and requested to send anything of monetary value before you can receive an item, it is most likely a SCAM. There are numerous criminal organizations both foreign and domestic who utilize these tactics to steal money from people every day.
Please do not allow these undesirables to victimize you. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
