Caller ID Spoofing Hits Dexter - Beware of Scams

Dexter, Missouri - Have you received a strange call on your cell phone from a local number?  Do they want credit card information.

"It has come to our attention that there have been numerous cases of Caller ID Spoofing occurring in town over the past few days. They are using software to disguise their actual phone number by showing a name and number you may be familiar with."

The caller may ask if you wish to set up a credit card account with them, however the caller is not affiliated with that business and is attempting to get your credit card information.

Please be wary of any solicitations from a number that appears to be of a local business, or a business that you frequent. If you're in doubt about the legitimacy of a caller, hang up the phone and initiate a call yourself by calling the business directly.
