Hoosiers warned of auto accident scam

INDIANA – Troopers with the Jasper State Police post warn Hoosier of a scam.

This scam is from informing you that a family member has been injured in a car crash and instructs you to contact a lawyer for more details.

Authorities caution against unfamiliar callers seeking something in return and verify the source before engaging in any transaction.

To identify potential scams, individuals are urged to watch for signs such as requests to wire money, keeping transactions secret, offers that seem too good to be true, unexpected contact, claims of emergencies, and requests for personal information.

Stay aware and confirm the legitimacy of any communication to avoid falling victim to scams.
