Sometime between Wednesday April 2nd and Friday April 4, 2008 three or more persons entered a rural private property South East of Crawford, Dawes County, Nebraska.  East of the Crow Butte Uranium Mine, said persons entered a vacant house and several outbuildings that are close together on the same property.  Taken was a large number of items of an antique nature.  Again  - between Wednesday April 16 and Thursday April 17, 2008 unknown person(s) entered the same said property by cutting a gate padlock and used force to enter the house.

I get calls about these folks every now and again. I may have written about them before, but one more time won’t hurt a thing !!   CMS (Credit Management Services) is one of those businesses that provide a “legal” service, but tend to walk the “legal” line in many instances. I had a call that CMS had contacted a person about a “Past Due Bill” - The bill had been paid and the debt was several years old. On the face of it, it appears that CMS was trying to pull a fast one and “Bully” these folks into “re-paying” and old and paid bill. I was told that the CMS staff were threatening, rude, impolite and down right nasty. Well folks, you do not have to put up with that. If they contact you, get all the information from them you can and give them “As Little information About You” as you can. Then, CHECK IT OUT !!!!  Do not take their word for anything !!   Check out the bill. Check out the company that claims you owe them. Check everything you can…… Then if you owe the money, try to work with the company you owe the money to. Get receipts for everything you can and get as much in writing as you can.   Then, if you need to, contact an attorney and let them deal with CMS…. Be Smart - Be Aware and Be Careful !!!    Sheriff Karl Dailey

You get a phone call offering better interest rates on your credit card. They want a ton of information from you and while they are talking, you notice that the area code on your CALLER ID is — 062 — or some other strange number — 062 is an INDONESIA area code…. Take a wild guess ???? A SCAM MAYBE !!!?? You bet it is….. You can call your credit card people and try to negotiate a better interest rate (good luck!) BUT, they will not call you. They may send you regular mail with an offer of some type, but not an e-mail and not a phone call —- so, when you get a call like this, look at your caller ID and check the area code and prefix…… better yet, JUST SAY NO and hang up….. Be Aware - Be Careful - Be Safe — Sheriff Karl Dailey

You receive an e-mail from someone (in this case- fraz2694@buckeye-express.com) claiming to be from a cable or satellite TV provider (again, in this case Great Plains Communications). The grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc. are terrible and they want your User name - Password - DOB (?) and Country or Territory …. WHY????   Because they are doing some kind of work on their system and they do not want your e-mail account interrupted — Gee, ain’t they nice !!! ??    IT’S A SCAM !!!   Remember - Be Aware, Be Careful, Be Safe !!!   Sheriff Karl Dailey 

A new twist on the check scam is going around. It works a little different than most of the old ones, but the result is the same — You are out a bunch of money !!!!!!  Here is how it works:  You receive a check in the mail with some phony bologna letter wanting you to “Deposit” the check in your checking account. Here is where it begins to differ from the old scam - The old scam asks you to deposit or cash the check and send part of the money to the scammers….. in this case they don’t need you to send them any money because by depositing the check, you have approved your bank to send the amount on the check “Automatically” to the scammers by wire transfer. Basically, the check they send you is a withdrawal slip that looks like a check. Routing numbers, etc. are on the check and the wire transfer takes place very quickly. SO, PLEASE - “Do Not” automatically deposit any strange checks into your account. Ask a teller or other bank employee to look at it first and advise you. They will be glad to assist you at any time - Remember, Be Smart - Be Careful - Be Safe  ——- Sheriff Karl Dailey

The phone rings (like it always does - at the worst possible time !!)… You pick up and a voice at the other end says that he / she is calling to tell you that you need to have a “New ID Number assigned to your insurance or you will not be able to access your information” (or something similar)  — They do not mention what insurance company they are talking about and drone on and on in very vague and non-specific terms. To set up this new ID number, they need - (ready for this ???)- Your DOB / SS# , etc to “verify” your identity and set up the new ID number !!!!!!  PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO. - Just hang up and let your answering machine screen calls for a few days until they stop calling. If you do not have an answering machine, watch the caller ID and do not answer when their number comes up. As of now, the number I know about is — 1-800-223-9113. Please do not call this number. It is just for your information. So again, Be Aware, Be Careful, Be Safe !!!   Don’t get scammed !!     Sheriff Karl Dailey

Well folks, It’s Spring time and the “Nasty Eggs” are hatching !!   The scammers don’t care who you are or what your monetary status is. They will stick you and suck you dry, if you let them. They have no shame or conscience and will use any ploy to separate you from your money and good name.   One of the schemes I hear about is  —- you get a phone call from a person claiming to be from some Law Enforcement Organization. They say they are collecting funds for kids, ballistic vests, surviving spouses and kids or any one of a hundred other reasons. You tell them that you would like their information so that local LE can check on them or you ask them to mail you their information. They will try to discourage you from doing these things and if you press them, they will get angry at you and / or just hang up.    Remember….  When In Doubt, Check It Out !!!!    Sheriff Karl Dailey

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF GETTING ALL THOSE CREDIT CARD AD’S IN THE MAIL - AND YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IDENTITY THEFT, YOU CAN NOW CALL  —  1-888-567-8688  —  AND OPT OUT OF GETTING THE MAIL AD’S. IT IS GOOD FOR 5 YEARS, MUCH LIKE THE PHONE “DO NOT CALL” LIST.  FOR MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN ALSO GO TO —  www.ftc.gov/privacy/protect.shtm  —    Sheriff Karl Dailey

Crimestoppers has been made aware that there has recently been a rash of thefts of items from vehicles in the Chadron area. Crimestoppers would like to remind everyone that a lot of these thefts can be prevented by people locking the doors to their vehicles, and not leaving the keys inside the vehicle. The individuals committing these crimes are simply walking around checking car doors for ones that are open, and when they find one open, they take any items of value inside. Crimestoppers would also like to ask everyone to keep their garage doors locked if possible as well. If an individual can gain entry to your garage not only do they have concealment while they try to get into your vehicle, they possibly now have a chance to gain entry into your home as well. Taking the simple step of locking your doors can have a dramatic effect on deterring these types of activities from happening.
