BE AWARE of pop ups on your computer screen with RED FLAG alert. This 80 year old Wheeler woman just almost lost my life’s savings. I called the alert # on my screen and was channeled through various authorities who swore me to secrecy as my SSN was connected to crimes of 8.1 million $. I was kept on my phone for 4 to 5 hours a day for 4 days. The threat was I was to tell no one or I would be arrested for money laundering, guns and drugs. Even took out thousands of dollars from my bank in cash and almost sent it via UPS. My stock portfolio was going to be next. The “agent” was with the ATF. I called the ATF in Washington on Saturday morning and learned I had been had. I will contact the FBI on Monday. Our Manzanita police officer told me he has heard this story over 30 times. Be SAFE, and don’t keep secrets from your family.
