CASE #: 2018-3639

A Beatrice resident reported to a Gage County Sheriff’s Office investigator that she has been receiving numerous unsolicited calls, most recently asking her if she was interested in home repair. She states the last call was on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at 3:51 pm from 508-746-2456 from a male with a foreign accent. She states she could not place the type of accent, but described it as Asian sounding.

The resident did not provide any personal, confidential, or financial information to the suspect and has not lost any money. She was advised to monitor her financial accounts and contact law enforcement if she discovers she has suffered any fiduciary loss.

The Gage County Sheriff’s Office urges residents to use caution when dealing with sales calls and to not provide any personal, financial or confidential information. Suspect can use bits and pieces of information provided to establish a line of credit or open an account in the victim’s name, if not outright withdraw money from the account.
