💨 Abstract

In Prince George's County, scammers have been successful in defrauding residents of approximately $1 million this year, with a few recent arrests made. One victim lost $700,000 and another $40,000 in separate, deceitful incidents. The scams typically begin with pop-ups on computers suggesting hacking, followed by phone calls from individuals posing as Microsoft, bank, or government officials.
