(Cedar City, UT) — Cedar City police are issuing another warning about scam calls after criminals tried to victimize one from their own ranks.

A scammer claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House reportedly called Lieutenant Keith Millett yesterday, claiming he needed to wire money for taxes on a prize before it could be provided.

Saint George News reports this follows last week’s warning of a common jury duty scam making the rounds as well.

You’re reminded that no company would ask for money up front before providing a prize.
