Possible New Scam in the Area
State police are warning people of a possible scam being run in the Lewis Run, Kane and Pittsfield areas.
They say a woman approached a residence and began asking questions concerning the mortgage, saying the information was needed for Northwest Savings Bank. She said she worked for Default Services, which was working for Northwest.
A representative of the bank told Kane-based state police that this person is not associated with the bank, and that Northwest does not have people going door to door.
State police say they would like to remind the public that if they're not sure if something is a scam or not, take time to check it out prior to giving out any personal information.
