************* FRAUD ALERT ***************

It was brought to my attention from a contact with All In Credit Union fraud department that the below is happening.

Will you please get the word out to seniors that there are fraudsters in the community posing as law enforcement and telling them that, to avoid jail, they must get cash out (usually thousands of dollars). Then, the fraudster actually goes to the senior citizen's house and picks up the money. Not only does this result in a financial loss, but it also poses a physical threat to seniors. Seniors should contact law enforcement immediately if someone is asking them to give them cash and wants to know where they live.

Thank you,
Joy W. Riddle
