The Atlantic Police Department is warning area residents of a scam that continues to circulate around the area in which local church numbers are being used to text people, asking them for I-Tunes gift cards. We recently reported on a situation in Glenwood where the scammers were posing as a local Father and asking for gift cards to support a terminally ill parishioner.

The scammers ask you to scratch off the pin number on the cards once purchased and take a picture of the card number and pin and send it to them. Please do not respond to these requests.

If you have any questions you can contact the Atlantic Police Department at 712-243-3512.
