Winder PD warn police of holiday scams
As the holiday season is fast approach
ing, the City of Winder Police Department
would like to make citizens aware of poten
tial scams that attempt to take advantage of
holiday shoppers.
One type of fraud is commonly referred
to as a “secret shopper” or “mystery shop
per.” This occurs when an entity disguised
as a business attempts to solicit a potential
victim by sending them a form of money,
usually a check or money order sent through
the mail.
The victim is instructed to cash the check
and return most of the money back to the
sender. The instructions usually tell the vic
tim to purchase goods at a particular store
with the remaining money and might allow
the victim to keep a small portion of it as
their income for performing this task.
The victim is asked to comment on the
way the items are marketed and displayed as
well as the treatment they receive from store
employees and then report this information
back to the sender, giving the victim the
perception that it is being done as market
research.
Often times the victim can be stuck with
the penalties associated with cashing a
check with insufficient or fictitious funds.
Another form of fraud that often goes
undetected is door-to-door soliciting. Many
people will attempt to sell various items
such as magazines, books, holiday novel
ties, discounted memberships to local orga
nizations, food items, etc.
Many jurisdictions, including the City
of Winder, require persons who solicit for
money in exchange for goods and services
to first apply and obtain a permit from the
local government. The permit must then be
presented to any potential customers upon
their request to verify the legitimacy of
the business. Anyone who fails to produce
such permit should be considered a non
legitimate business.
The department would like to remind all
citizens that if you come in contact with
anything that seems suspicious or out of the
ordinary to contact your local law enforce
ment before performing any financial trans
actions.
Winder Police Chief Dennis Dorsey said,
“Our intent is to assist citizens who might
encounter any form of holiday scam and
prevent them from becoming a victim of
fraudulent activity.”
Pedestrian struck by motorist Monday night
A motorist hit a 60-year-old
female pedestrian Monday
night in downtown Winder.
According to a Winder Police
Department accident report,
the incident occurred at about
6 p.m. at Broad and Wright
streets.
The driver of a lifted C-10
Chevrolet Blazer reportedly
said it was dark and he could
not see the pedestrian who had
on all dark clothing.
According to Officer Chris
Cooper with the Winder Police
Department, it appears the vic
tim had an injury to the right
arm.
She was taken to Barrow
Medical Center by Barrow
County Med Unit 5, which
reportedly responded just a few
minutes after the Winder PD
did.
The initial accident report
did not indicate whether the
driver was cited, but the offi
cer could have been waiting
to determine the extent of the
victim's injuries, said Cooper.
According to Winder Fire
Chief Matt Whiting, the vic
tim was alert and conscious.
The Winder Fire Department
responded with a rescue track
on scene.
