Phone Scam

FYI from KLOG.com-- A Longview woman says that someone claiming to be from the “Longview Police Fraud Division” called her at home last night, and tried to obtain personal information from the woman. The woman called the Sheriff’s Office from her home on the west end of Longview shortly before 9 pm; she was immediately suspicious about the call, and did not give any information to the caller. The woman also says that she was able to get the caller’s phone number from her caller ID, saying that the call apparently originated from the 509 area code. Followup is being planned.
