St. Cloud Police: Phone Scam
On 06/14/05 at 1423 hours a St. Cloud officer was dispatched to a phone
scam complaint. A 78 year old St. Cloud resident was telephoned by a
company claiming to be American Convention Group.
The caller advised the victim that she was going to secure her bank
account due to a recent death of a spouse. The victim did provide her bank
account number to the caller, however upon reading the paper and seeing
the similar incident in

At this time officers are unable to proceed with any charges due to the
false company name and phone number. Residents are advised to never give
out any personal information over the phone.
