Over the past two weeks all full-time staff successfully completed an advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) program taught by one of their own paramedics, Brad Chicoine, who is also a critical care RN. This program focused on the most current American Heart Association (AHA) treatment guidelines for life threatening cardiac arrhythmias and high performance CPR practices.

Congratulations!!

Nationwide scam using Uber or Lyft drivers to collect funds allegedly owed resurfaces; theft averted

Tonight, a resident received phone calls from scammers stating they were with a law enforcement agency, a law firm, and a bail bondsman.

The scammers called the victim and convincingly told them that a family member was arrested following a car crash and they needed funds for lawyers and bail money. The victim was requested to go to their bank, withdraw fifteen thousand dollars and place the funds in unique packaging to disguise it from the pickup drivers. The next step had an unwitting ridesharing driver arrive to pick up the money/package and deliver it to another location outside the city.

We want to remind all readers that NO legitimate law enforcement agency, law firm, or business will demand cash by phone and send drivers to collect. No legitimate business or agency will ever demand immediate payment in gift cards, either. It should be noted that the victim’s bank attempted to safeguard the victim’s money, but the scammers had provided the victim with specific instructions about not disclosing information to anyone.

Anyone receiving such a phone call, e-mail, or message should follow these steps:

1. HANG UP.

2. Contact the family member in question directly; if you cannot reach them, contact other family members to assist. If you cannot get anyone, wait until a family member calls you back.

3. Do not put cash in envelopes or packages for anyone to pick up from your home: these alleged accidents or an arrest of family members are fictitious and are part of the scam.

4. CALL YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. Cumberland residents can call the Cumberland Police Department at 207-893-2810 x2.

The attached photograph is of the actual $15,000 withdrawn from a local bank that was minutes away from being handed-off to a ridesharing driver. Fortunately, the victim’s relative called and said that he was not injured and was fine, which resulted in the police department being called.

Real people in our community are being victimized by these career criminals. PLEASE take the time to speak with your friends, neighbors, and loved ones about how these scams work. There can be a significant level of embarrassment and shame associated with these cases, but there shouldn’t be: these thieves are extremely manipulative, predatory, and convincing.
