Abingdon Police Department
SCAM ALERT:
Farris Funeral Service has received several calls
from the public regarding a scam linked to their number. The public has
informed them that they have received calls from a number showing on caller ID
as Farris Funeral Service, and when they answer there is a recorded voice stating “we wish to talk
with the person about their credit rating.” The number being used
is 276-628-7983, which is not the listed number for Farris Funeral Service.
Farris has contacted BVU and made them aware of the
situation. They wanted the public to know that they would never use recorded messages, nor
call to discuss personal matters such as credit ratings. Also, they apologize to
those who may have received such scam calls attached to their name.
The APD reminds people NEVER to provide
any information, such as bank accounts, credit cards, your social security
number or birth date, to these callers. If you have a phone provider that will
allow you to block these numbers, please do so to prevent future calls. Please
notify your family, friends, and neighbors about these scams so that no one
falls victim to these predators.
