SCAM ALERT! |
|
|
The Menomonee Falls Police Department and surrounding agencies have taken several reports where citizens have received telephone calls asking them to wire money because a relative has been arrested. Sometimes these scams also come via e-mail. In most cases, the money is to be wired out of the country. When a money transfer takes place, it is difficult to trace and an investigation is often impossible. For more information, please refer to the following websites:

IRS Scam Alert! |
|

Internal Revenue Service Scam Alert!
With income tax filing time upon us, the Internal Revenue Service has issued the follow Scam Alerts:
THE I.R.S. DOES NOT INITIATE CONTACT WITH TAXPAYERS THROUGH E-MAIL!
A scheme in which a tax refund form is e-mailed, supposedly by the Taxpayer Advocate Service(a genuine and independent organization within the IRS which assists taxpayers with unresolved problems), is particularly blatant in the amount and type of information it requests. The top of the form tells the recipient that they are eligible for a tax refund for a specified amount. The form asks for name, address, and phone number and a substantial amount of financial information, such a bank account number, credit card number and expiration date, ATM PIN number and more. It also asks for mother’s maiden name (frequently used by many people as an account security password). At the bottom is a phony name and signature, claiming to be that of the Taxpayer Advocate. The implication is that the taxpayer must fill in and submit the form to receive a tax refund. In reality, taxpayers claim their tax refunds through filing of an annual tax return, not a separate application form.
A new e-mail scam claims to come from the IRS and the US Government for charitable contributions to victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. A link in the e-mail, when clicked, sends the e-mail recipients to a Web site that looks like the Official IRS Web site, but isn’t. They are then directed to click on a link that opens a donation form that asks for personal and financial information. The scammers can use that information to gain access to the e-mail recipients’
financial accounts. The IRS does not send e-mails to taxpayers soliciting contributions to a charitable cause.
In another recent scam, consumers receive a “Tax Avoidance Investigation” e-mail claiming to come from the IRS “Fraud Department” in which the recipient is asked to complete an
“investigation form,” for which there is a link contained in the e-mail, because of suspected fraud that the recipient may have committed. Delete this, and any other e-mails that appear to have come from the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service does not initiate contact with
taxpayer through e-mail!

Suspicious Activity |
|
|
The following suspicious activity took place on 01/25/2010 at about 4:30 p.m. at CarQuest, N86 W16300 Appleton Ave.
A single male black entered the store and asked questions about buying a tail lamp. He appeared to be distracted while speaking with the employee, as though he was not listening to the employee’s recommendation and advice.
At one point, he made some sort of signal with his hand above his head, at which time a second M/B entered the store and asked to use the bathroom. From the bathroom, the second M/B would have been able to see behind the counters (at the safe, registers, etc.).
An employee looked out the window and observed a third M/B standing in the parking lot looking around.
Once the second M/B exited the bathroom, he was observed looking at the registers and safe. The first M/B then said that he needed to go get change and to forget about the tail lamp.
All then left the area in a dark blue Volkswagen Jetta, unknown license plate number. Employees observed that all tail lamps were functioning on the car.
Suspect Descriptions: 1st to enter store – 600/185, “round head”, dark coat and knit hat, possibly bald, approximately 30 years, 2nd to enter store – 510/160, “baby faced”, 18-19 years old, large puffy jacket (dark colored), 3rd (did not enter store) – Blue jacket, back trim near pockets.
If you experience similar activity, contact MFPD as soon as it safe to do so. Please try to obtain license plate number and vehicle description, if possible.

Menomonee Falls has experienced two armed robberies within the past week. The first occurred on Tuesday, November 10th at around 7:56 PM at Papa Murphy’s Pizza located at W156 N5522 Pilgrim Road. The second occurred on Sunday, November 16th at around 7:53 PM at the Cousin’s north store.
It appears that the same suspects are responsible for both:
SUSPECT #1: Male, black, late teens to early 20’s, 5’ 6” to 5’ 8”, 160 lbs., black hair with corn rows Suspect was wearing a collared thin black down winter coat that had a black criss/cross pattern, dark faded jeans, black ski cap, and using a black material to mask his face.
SUSPECT #2: Male, black, late teens to early 20’s, 5’ 6” to 5’ 8”, 160 lbs., with light skin tone. Suspect was wearing a shiny smooth nylon coat with hood, baggy faded black jeans, and tan Timberland style boots. Possible name on “Kwan.”
In both incidents a witness made mention of the suspect(s) possibly pulling their shirts up over their face to mask it. In both robberies a black semi auto handgun was displayed and pointed at the victims. Also, the suspect with the gun makes a point of working the slide action of the gun to possibly chamber a round. In both incidents the suspects flee via the back door of the business. No vehicle has been seen in either robbery.
If you are approached by someone who is armed, please cooperate with their robbery demands. Try to obtain a good physical description, clothing, and any vehicle, along with the last known direction of travel. Call 911 immediately.
If you have any information about these robberies, please call the Menomonee Falls Police at 262-532-1700

Bank, Credit Union customers targeted in Phone Scam |

Bank, credit union customers targeted in phone scam
By Paul Gores of
the Journal Sentinel
Customers of several banks and at least one credit union in southeastern Wisconsin are being targeted by "vishing" thieves - callers who try to trick people into giving them confidential financial information over the telephone.
Citizens Bank of Mukwonago, Park Bank in Milwaukee, Burlington's First Banking Center, Maritime Savings Bank and Educators Credit Union are among area financial institutions that have reported such calls since Saturday, said Debby Bartolerio, security officer for Citizens Bank of Mukwonago. The calls are catching people off guard because they are coming on their cell phones, she said.
The automated caller leaves a message on phones in the 414 and 262 area codes claiming to be from a financial institution's security department and warning that the customer's debit card has been compromised. It then prompts customers to reveal their account information.
"They are continuing," Bartolerio said Wednesday. "I had a customer call me this morning saying she received one last night at 10:30."
Bartolerio said she was unaware so far of anyone's information being used by the scammers for fraudulent activity.
"One of our customers did follow the initial instruction and press 1 and enter her debit card number. She was then asked to confirm it and starting thinking better of it and hung up and then immediately called and closed her card. So we haven't suffered any losses that we're aware of at this time, although I'm not sure we would know yet," Bartolerio said.
The vishing scam is similar to Internet "phishing" attacks in which thieves send out authentic-looking e-mails telling people there's been a problem with a financial account and that they should submit confidential information online to help resolve it. The "v" in vishing stands for the word voice.
The data then is used by scammers to tap bank accounts or make online purchases. The technology-savvy thieves mask their identities and are very difficult for authorities to catch.
Bartolerio said that in the current scam, caller ID typically shows the call coming from an "unknown" number.
"The information that I'm receiving is that it's an auto-dialer - that it's an automated voice that says your debit card or your credit union debit card has been suspended due to fraudulent activity, press 1 to reactivate your account," Bartolerio said.
The Wisconsin Bankers Association said no bank, credit union or legitimate business would call and request that a customer verify personal information such as PINs, account and card numbers or Social Security numbers over the phone. The bankers group said people can protect themselves when they get such calls by not responding immediately, and thinking first about why the bank would need information it already has.
Customers targeted by such scams should call the financial institution at the number listed in the phone book or on their monthly statement - not at a number provided by a caller.
"Most people have just hung up, although if they thought it was a legitimate call, I'm not sure they'd be reporting it to us yet," Bartolerio said. "Which is why I think it's important it gets out in the media - so they do call us."
The fraudulent calls can sound convincing and prey on people's tendency to act quickly to help resolve the issue. Two years ago over Thanksgiving weekend, a vishing campaign eventually traced to thieves in Spain placed about 40,000 calls in Manitowoc County and persuaded some customers of Manitowoc-based Bank First National to give up private data that allowed their accounts to be tapped.
Blocking vishing
No bank, credit union or legitimate business would call and request that a customer verify personal information such as PINs, account and card numbers or Social Security numbers over the phone.
People can protect themselves when they get such calls by not responding immediately.
Customers should call the financial institution at the number listed in the phone book or on their monthly statement - not at a number provided by a caller.

Daytime Burglaries |
|
|
Two daytime burglaries occurred on Wednesday, August 19th sometime between the hours of 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Residences were located on the south end of Menomonee Falls, in the Creekwood Crossing Subdivision and on Bette Drive east of Pilgrim Rd. Entry to the homes was gained by forcing open the garage service door. These two burglaries, along with a third that occurred off of Mill Road about a week ago, are similar to those also taking place in New Berlin and Greenfield.
Those agencies have developed two possible suspect vehicles: 1990’s style Chevy Suburban or Tahoe, either silver, tan or champagne in color and a green or olive Jeep Cherokee. A suspect was also seen in New Berlin exiting one of the homes with a pillow case. He is described as male white in his early 20’s, 5”10” to 6’, medium build, with brown “buzz cut” style hair. Suspects have been selective in loot targeting: jewelry, prescription medications, and currency. Larger valuables have been untouched. Please report anything suspicious immediately to the police.

Credit Card Scam |
|
|
There is a large organized group traveling around the country with closed credit cards duping merchants into forcing authorizations into their terminals.
This is an old scheme that has been going on for years. Merchants should be aware that if you have a customer in front of you that claims he is having problems with their credit card and need to call "their bank" to "get straightened out" and then hands their cell phone over to the clerk, this is fraud. The person on the other side of the cell phone is an accomplice, not their bank. In some cases before the merchant runs the card through, they will do the same thing with the cell phone or they may just state that they are having problems with their card and here is "their authorization" number, again, this is fraud.
Part of the group is currently traveling through Oklahoma, Chicagoland, Milwaukee and St. Louis. They are driving around in a 2009 red Kia Sodona which is listed as stolen and rented through Enterprise.
All are coming out of the Atlanta area. In some cases, males are posing as females.
They were going to hit Apple stores and other electronic stores to purchase laptops, etc.

Home Invasion Armed Robbery |
|
|
On July 14, 2009 the Menomonee Falls Police Department responded to a report of a “Burglary at gunpoint” at a home on Evergreen Lane in the Village. The initial investigation showed a home invasion armed robbery had taken place. Sometime after 11:00 p.m., on July 13, 2009, multiple masked suspects entered an occupied residence on Evergreen Lane. At least one suspect was armed with a handgun. An occupant of the home woke up and confronted the subjects. That victim was attacked and beaten before all the occupants were tied up. The subjects then ransacked the residence and numerous items were taken. The victim assaulted is a 67 year old Asian male. He sustained multiple injuries and was taken to an area hospital where he remains in critical condition. No other family members sustained any injuries.
The suspects then fled the scene in an unknown vehicle and direction. Once the suspects had left, one resident was able to free herself and call police. Residents are asked to report any suspicious vehicles or persons they may see in their neighborhoods. The investigation is on going, but we are confident this residence was targeted for a specific reason and this was not a random act of violence in the Village. Our investigators will continue to work the scene gathering evidence. We encourage any citizens who may have knowledge of this crime to contact the Menomonee Falls Police Department, Special Investigation Bureau at 262-532-8700, and refer to case number 09-001617.

Recently Counterfeit Checks drawn on the account of Rexnord Industries, Account #193457, have surfaced as part of a "Mystery Shopper" Scam. Letters have been mailed throughout the country to various payees. The checks appear to be the "Versa Check" format. There are three different dollar amounts...$4,260.00, $3,535.00, and $3,998.00.
The serial numbers being used begin as 4002 with 5 digits following. A sample of one of the checks is 400214037. This serial number is not consistent with the current serial numbers for that account. The check is accompanied with a letter appearing to come from "Rexnord Research Center" and the location is Canada.
If you do receive such a mailing, it is a scam and just discard it.
