Scammers are master impersonators, and impersonations are at the center of many scams. As technology advances, impersonation scams are harder to detect.

Here are three tips to help protect yourself:

1. Always type in a company’s website address yourself to see if special sales or promo codes are listed there. If not, the website or app you were in is likely fake.

2. You can’t trust caller ID. Reputable banks will never ask you to transfer money to resolve fraud. If something doesn’t seem right, always call your bank directly using the number on the back of your card or account statement.

3. If someone you know says they need money fast, be extra alert. Call them directly on a number you know is theirs. For friends and family, set up a safe word and don’t share it online.

Ever heard of “pig butchering”? It’s a sneaky investment scam where scammers spend weeks or months building a friendship or even romantic relationships that feel real. Once you trust them, they promise huge returns and push you to act fast.

How to help protect yourself:
• Always do your own research
• Be skeptical of “guaranteed” profits
• Never send money to someone you haven’t met in person

Treat crypto, Zelle®, checks, wires, cashier’s checks and gift
cards like cash. Once scammers get the money, you
probably won’t get it back.

The reward for information in the case is being provided by Jay Bergman and First Secure Bank Group. Residents with information they believe could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation are asked to contact Will County Crime Stoppers, which will keep their information private and anonymous.

Bergman described himself as “an animal lover” and urged residents with information to come forward to “get this sicko off the streets before he harms a person or animal again.”

To contact Crimestoppers call 800-323-6734 or visit their website at https://crimestoppersofwillcounty.org/.

The Will County State’s Attorney, along with the Sheriff’s Office and Animal Protection Services, is investigating the discovery of six deceased “pitbull-type dogs” that showed signs of torture and dog fighting out of Crete Township.
