A concerned community member brought this mail scam to our attention and we wanted to share it with the City of Cortez!  She said that she called to receive her 'unclaimed reward' and was asked to give her banking information.  

Just a reminder to never give your account information over the phone unless you make the call to your financial services or are aware of the end user.  Help your neighbors, parents and grandparents, church members, and community groups identify and prevent these fraud and scam cases. 

If you have questions about a text, email or paper scams, please contact our Dispatch at 970-565-8441 or stop by the department at 608 North Park Street.
