The Roscommon County Sheriff's Office works consistently to keep the public informed of constantly changing frauds and scams that circulate, attempting to take advantage of our residents. We recently began investigating a new scheme in which fraudsters present official-looking communications representing themselves to be Federal Agents of the Federal Trade Commission. Claims are then made to the victim about the victim's identifying information and social security number being utilized overseas and throughout the internet for millions of dollars in criminal transactions. Once they have convinced the victim of legitimacy, they begin to collect additional identifying information. This most recent incident began with a text message notifying the victim of a suspicious Apple Pay Transaction. Once inquiry into the suspicious transaction began, the victim was put into contact with "special agents" from the Federal Trade Commission.

Please be vigilant as scams are always changing. Never give personal identifying information or account information during communications that you did not initiate, regardless of how legitimate it appears. If you have questions reference the legitimacy of a communication, please contact the Sheriff's Office at 989-275-5101.
