Phone Scams Making Rounds in WI

There is a new warning about two new phone scams in Wisconsin.

The Better Business Bureau says scammers are pretending to be with Best Buy and PayPal, and are trying to steal banking information. The scam starts with an email from Best Buy’s Geek Squad or PayPal asking about a charge or a new subscription. The BBB says when people call, the scammers get personal and banking information, then take money out of people’s accounts. The BBB says never give out banking information over the phone, and always be wary of emails that you didn’t sign-up for.
