Anyone who has had their identity stolen, or knows someone who has, knows what big problems this creates. Now, broadcast stations are being targeted by identity thieves in what appears to be a well-conceived, ongoing nationwide con game. Using detailed information they obtain Radio Station’s website information and then, these scam artists contact local area businesses in the radio station’s range to try and sell them false advertising. The FM-92 listening range includes the following towns, but not limited to :
BUTLER, ADRIAN, RICH HILL, APPLETON CITY, DREXEL, ARCHIE, FREEMAN, NEVADA, HUME, ROCKVILLE, HARRISONVILLE, CLINTON, GRANDVIEW AND LEE’S SUMMIT TO INCLUDE MIAMI, BALLARD, URICK,PASSAIC, AMSTERDAM, AMORET, AND HUME. FM-92 REACHES THE HOMES AND AUTOMOBILES IN THE KANSAS AREA TO INCLUDE PLEASANTON KANSAS, MOUND CITY, FT SCOTT AND LOUISBURG KANSAS.
These radio station scammers are claiming to be account executives selling advertising for local radio stations. In some instances the fake salespeople will also tell the client that a part of the fictitious ad package includes a donation to a charity. They use an 800 number and credit card information to complete the “sale” to the local business.
If you are not called by Michelle Schroeder or Gail Tiller, FM-92 sales staff… please contact Melody Thornton to confirm your quote or if you have questions or concern.
