Editor, Thanks to immediate action by the management at US Bank in Freeland, and a resolute Western Union employee, my friend narrowly escaped being the victim of a very clever scammer who would have wiped her checking account clean and left her in debt.

Editor,

Thanks to immediate action by the management at US Bank in Freeland, and a resolute Western Union employee, my friend narrowly escaped being the victim of a very clever scammer who would have wiped her checking account clean and left her in debt.

We can be grateful for the service our local US Bank provides and for their vigilance. Now we must be vigilant. No one asks you to wire money to himself (or herself) at the Bank of India. Or requires your checking account number in order to return an overpayment. Except a scammer. They’re out there. Beware!
