Scam Warning

Lottery/sweepstakes scam warning from Sergeant Jillian Cabana, Westport Police Detective Bureau Lottery/Sweepstakes scams- Lottery/sweepstakes scams commonly involve emails or phone calls to victims advising them that they have won the lottery or a sweepstakes. The caller or mailer tells the victim that they will receive their prize money only after first paying the taxes and processing fees up front. The suspects request payment for the taxes by either a wire transfer or via Green Dot card (or similar prepaid credit card). The suspect will instruct the “winner” to either wire money into a specific account or to go and purchase a Green Dot card in a specific denomination and then provide them with the PIN number off of the card.…

Bargain home/vehicle repair offers scam warning from Sergeant Jillian Cabana, Westport Police Detective Bureau Bargain home/vehicle repair offers- In these scams the suspect will approach an elderly resident at their home or in a parking lot and quote them a bargain amount for a service such as dent pulling, chimney sweeping, or driveway paving that may otherwise be expensive. After partially completing the service, the suspects may request additional money from the victim to complete the work. Many times these cons use shoddy materials and unskilled workers and may end up causing more damage than they were supposed to repair.

To err is human…..

Nov 18, 2013 Stephen Krauchick

Very early Sunday morning a shooting occurred in Bridgeport just before 3am, "man shot to the head" came across the EMS scanner. Out the door I went to bring you and the rest of the media the news. As I mentioned in an earlier article 3am is my bed time. I was back by 3:30am and now I had to edit the video, get photo frame grabs, upload the video and write the article. 3:30am is late even for me! If anyone has ever edited by computer, your computer screen is not full size, it has the timeline, preview and program screen and lots of tools (see the photo). At that hour I was very tired and did rush to…
