UTILITY & TECH SUPPORT SCAMS DUPE PEOPLE WITH PAYPAL

Deputy District Attorney Vicki Johnson shares two scams which use Pay Pal to dupe people. In one scam, a person who claims to be from 'Edison' insists that the victim MUST pay for a new meter via Pay Pal, or lose electricity for close to a week. In a second scam, the victim googles Pay Pal to learn how to send money but reaches a phony site. A scammer proceeds to guide the victim on how to send money directly to them. Google is doing its best to crack down on phony websites but you can't be too careful! Scammers are becoming more and more sophisticated.
