Watch out for those posting fake items for sale and asking you to send money to have them shipped. Especially vehicles and high-priced items. This is usually a SCAM! Also, if you do agree to buy and item and meet in person to get it, meet the person in a public place in view of others for safety reasons. And if you sell an item, be aware of who you give your address to especially if you have children at home. Instead, you should ask the person buying your item t to meet you in a public place to get it.
Some scammers are now calling and asking you if you can hear them trying to record your vice saying "yes" so they can add that recording to whatever they are trying to scam and say that you agreed on a recorded line.

Phone calls around the area where someone tells you that you missed court and there could be a warrant for your arrest and to turn yourself into the sheriff's department or pay a fine over the phone. This is a known scam!!
