Due to the activation of phone scammers in Montana in December, the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Montana released a brochure with tips on how people can protect themselves from these scams.

The brochure is being distributed free of charge at post offices, town halls, retirement clubs and state administrations, the Montana Police Department said.

The booklet explains the various ways in which phone scammers mislead their victims - to allegedly assist the police in catching criminals, to give money for a loved one's emergency surgery, to buy various electrical appliances at low prices, etc. .
