The Jamestown Police Dept. has had several reports from citizens receiving phone calls from scammers saying that their EBay account has been hacked. The scammers state they will straighten out their account if they will buy a $500 gift card and send them a picture of it. This is a SCAM! If you receive one of these phone calls or something that sounds similar to this, hang up immediately.
If you have any questions or if you have fallen for this scam, contact the Jamestown Police Department at 270-343-3300 or the Russell County Dispatch non-emergency line at 270-343-6600.
