Police in Enterprise are passing along a word of warning to all local businesses.
Apparently, someone claiming to represent `Police Chief Magazine` called a local business, saying their invoice was past due for advertisement, and requesting immediate payment to a street address in Houston, Texas.
When the business owner then requested a copy of the magazine with the ad, they instead received a faxed copy of an actual page from the magazine, that had been "altered" to feature the victim company`s business card or phone book ad.
The International Chiefs of Police Association has been notified of the attempted fraud in Alabama and Arkansas. If you`re contacted with a similar request, be sure to contact local police.
