(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Police Department is warning of another scam.
Police Chief John Defore said a local resident reported Wednesday morning that she had received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Publishers Clearing House telling her she had won their sweepstakes and that she needed to send $320 for fees and expenses.
Defore said the Publishers Clearing House doesn’t ever ask you for money, and unfortunately this is yet another new scam.
He says the police department has had several of these attempted scams in the past few weeks.
Defore says while no crime has been committed in these cases, if you give money you will be a victim and need to call police.
He reminds residents to never give out personal information or send money to anyone you don’t know.
