PUEBLO COUNTY — The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office is warning people to be aware of a 'scam' on Facebook. The post says the user is selling items because their parent is in assisted living and they need money.
Deputies say if you come across a post like this, do not give your personal information which includes the following:
- social security number
- email address
- bank information
They also say red flags include the following:
- sellers who ask for a down payment or deposit on the items
- sellers who only accept wire transfers
- refuse to meet in person
If you think you've been 'scammed' Pueblo County sheriff's deputies say to contact your bank.
