(Markesan) Markesan Police say community members are receiving email notifications from someone whose email was hacked.
A police officer received an email from someone posing as community member saying they couldn’t buy gift cards right now but needed to get them for a friend that has cancer and asked if the officer could buy them online and send them to the person who had reached out to the officer. They promised to pay him back in the next week or when they saw him. The officer called the person who had supposedly sent him the email and were told that the company that they have their email through has been hacked.
Markesan Police says if you get such a request it is a scam.
