MORE Scams to look out for - involving packages & internet contact

Neighborhood Watch WORKS! Possible home theft thwarted
Recently, we had an "exciting" afternoon in South Shores, and I want to share information we received regarding this event from our SLO Officer Wight:
"I just wanted to give you all a quick update. During the day on 06/06/2012 a group of four male Hispanics were seen distributing flyers in South Shores.
