GRANT COUNTY โ€“ Someone called into the station this morning to inform our newsroom that the Publisherโ€™s Clearinghouse Scam was going around again. The caller said the scammer claimed to be from Publisherโ€™s Clearinghouse and requested financial and personal information.

As a reminder, never give out this type of information over the telephone. Publisherโ€™s Clearinghouse will come to your house if youโ€™ve won, and do not require the financial information that the scammers are requesting. If you receive a call like this, hang up, and most importantly, do not give them the information theyโ€™re looking for.  

Hereโ€™s a message from Oregon State Police regarding scammers:
