Rock Valley, Iowa — Some scammer has apparently come up with a new way to separate you from your money.
Rock Valley Police Chief Monte Warburton tells us about a cell phone account scam to which they were recently alerted.
He gives us suggestions about how to handle such calls.
Warburton tells us that if the caller makes it sound urgent or wants it to be secret — or to help YOU keep it secret, those are big red flags.
He says unfortunately these days people who want to take your money from you don’t have to break into your house or physically take it from you. They can take it from you over the phone without you even realizing it.
