Telemarketer Scams Reported In The Area

BE CAREFUL!!   The ShowMe Times has just been informed by County Wide Insurance Agency that a County Wide customer received a phone call from a telemarketer saying that their insurance coverage has lapsed. Then they telemarketer said that if they wanted to keep their coverage they would have to give their credit card number to them.

"You should never receive a call directly from an insurance company asking you to make a credit card payment over the phone.  Be VERY careful," Alan Hedrick of County Wide Insurance said.

So everyone please be aware of this incident and do not let them fool you.  If you receive a call of this nature, please notify the local authorities and contact your phone company to have the phone number blocked.
