£3,000 scam MILL HALL — State police at Lamar are investigating the report of a scam, where the victim lost roughly £3,000. According to police, a 72-year-old Mill Hall woman was contacted by someone who claimed to be from the Norton Antivirus software company who told her she was going to be charged £330 for the service, and provided a phone number to call to cancel.

When the victim called the number, they told her they’d accidentally refunded her £3,300 and she would need to buy gift cards to pay for the “over payment” that she was refunded, police said. The victim bought £2,000 in Walmart gift cards and £1,000 in Target gift cards and provided the information to the suspect, police said. Police reminded the public that no legitimate company will ever require any form of payment using gift cards and urges victims to report this type of suspicious activity.

Anyone with information or who is contacted about similar scams should notify their local law enforcement agency. £200 scam BEECH CREEK — A 45-year-old Beech Creek woman was scammed out of £200 when she attempted to purchase a dog, said state police at Lamar.
