A 2012 Hyundai Elantra, driven by another 17 year old from Dunkirk Md, was attempting to make a left turn from Brickhouse Rd onto southbound MD 4. The Hyundai failed to yield the right of way to the Jeep. The front of the Jeep struck the driver side of the Hyundai. The Jeep came to rest in the median of MD 4.

DON'T BE A VICTIM - WALMART FRAUD/SCAM LETTER

DON’T BE A VICTIM

    The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office received information on a fraud/scam
letter sent to residents within the county and surrounding areas. The letter appears to
be from Wal-Mart and includes a check written out to the resident or homeowner.
The letter instructs the resident to deposit the check into an active checking account.
Once the check clears, they are instructed to go to a Wal-Mart and purchase
thousands of dollars’ worth of Wal-Mart and Steam Wallet gift cards. After the
purchase, they are instructed to take photos of the cards and text the photos to a
phone number with a (281) area code.

    The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has been in contact with Wal-Mart and
their investigators. Should you receive one of these letters please destroy it.
Every year law enforcement agencies take numerous reports of fraud and theft
from deception. These scams have millions of people a year losing thousands of
dollars; sometimes their life savings. The rule of thumb is “if it’s too good to be true,
it probably is” and “there’s no such thing as free money”. Never send money without
doing a little research first. Please educate yourself, the elderly, friends and family
with the multiple frauds operating throughout the United States.
