## Resource

Phishing scams are escalating, with nearly 27,000 victims losing $50 million in 2018 alone. In Fremont County, Colorado, scammers are spoofing the Sheriff’s Office, impersonating Sheriff Greg Owen, and demanding Bitcoin payments to avoid arrest. Law enforcement will NEVER call demanding payment via Bitcoin, PayPal, Venmo, or gift cards. If you receive such a call—or shared personal info—immediately contact the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office at 719-276-5555, ext. 8. Stay vigilant: if it sounds too good—or too wild—to be true, it probably is. Protect your wallet and your neck. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
