Show Notes
Prince Georges County residents are facing two sneaky scams: fake Pepco workers and carrier scams. The Pepco imposters deceive homeowners into writing checks for fake electrical repairs, while carrier scams involve fraudsters posing as feds to steal money. These scams have cost residents thousands, with recent losses topping $115,000. Elderly residents are prime targets, and the emotional toll is significant. To protect yourself, verify workers directly with Pepco, never give cash or information to strangers, and report suspicious activities to detectives.
