Scammer Targets Local Businesses

All businesses in the area should be on the look out for a scammer.

According the Executive Director of the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Pete Cleaveland, someone is pretending to be working on the upcoming Explore Rabun Visitor’s Guide.

“Some lady has called one or two businesses and said she’s working with the CVB to sell ads, and if you pay by credit card today you get a 25% discount.”

If any businesses receive this phone call, Cleaveland encouraged them to alert the Sheriff’s Office and himself.
