When we have a disaster or scare such as the Ebola threat, there are scumbags who will be happy to pull your heartstrings, and then take your money. The Better Business Bureau is referencing a fund raiser on GoFundMe for the nurse who is currently being treated in Atlanta, Georgia for Ebola. Her parents never heard of them. In fact there are more than 100 pages raising funds for various Ebola related campaigns.

There are a number of reasons to investigate before you give your money away. A good source is Give.org.

If a member of The Cheyenne Police Department calls you offering a special discount price on a warrant for your arrest, they aren't with CPD, and there is no warrant for you not showing up for jury duty. Laramie County Sherriff's Department reported a scam like this one earlier this month.

Call the police to check on warrants and to report the calls.
