Both local and widespread scams have been claiming victims for years, continuing to increase and change as technology and other factors evolve.

The Scam Squad will be a financial fraud task force within the county that works to unite social service agencies, nonprofits and local, state and federal law enforcement to fight against scams, according to a recent press release.

The number is 1-877-SCAM550 (1-877-722-6550).
