This is a true story…
A Crime Watch member’s significant other came home from work to find a note in his mailbox with a phone number on it saying that they have his income tax check. If he wanted it he should call that number.
He lives off of Park Ave.
He called the number and the person told him he could get his check off them if he came to their house which was located in the Heights.
Without thinking he went to get it… just relieved to get his check.
When he arrived they asked him for money !
He gave them some and he took the check.
A few minutes later his phone rang again .. it was the person who had his check asking for MORE money !
He then went to the police and Post Office. They are looking into it.
The strange thing is the names of the streets are different and the house numbers are not even similar.
When I was told the address of the house he went to I was very suspicious because it is a known drug house. The guy who had the check was recently arrested for selling drugs at a park in Kingston.
I have to wonder if someone is taking checks out of mailboxes and extorting money out of people.
Beware… report it to the Watch Commander at the police station if this happens to you or anyone you know. Do not go and get the check… let the authorities do it !
