Officials Warn of Holiday Scams

The Christmas season typically brings an increase in telephone and internet scams.

State Police Trooper Alan Park at the Negaunee Post says the latest online fraud involves someone contacting you who appears to be from a reputable source – such as Microsoft or Google.
