Linton Police are warning the public about a scam in which a scammer contacted a business and pretended to be local law enforcement.
The scammer then convinced the employee to take all of the money out of the register and purchase gift or cash cards.
The employee then provided the scammer with the information from the gift cards.
Linton Police say law enforcement agencies will never contact someone and encourage them to buy gift cards and provide them with the information.
If you receive such a call, don’t give out any personal information, hang up, and contact police.
