What you will learn

Scams to watch for in Fargo
Scammers target people everywhere, including a mid-sized city like Fargo. These three are among the most common:
- Utility shutoff threats. A caller says your power or water will be cut off in an hour unless you pay. Utilities send written notices. Hang up and call the number on your bill.
- Fake package delivery texts. A text says a package could not be delivered and asks you to tap a link. Do not tap it. Open the carrier's real app or website yourself, or paste the text into an AI assistant and ask: "Does this look like a scam? What should I do?"
- Medicare card and plan calls. Callers offering a free brace or a new Medicare card want your number. Medicare does not cold call to sell things. Free local counseling is available (see below).
If something happens, report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and call the AARP Fraud Watch helpline at 877-908-3360 (free, open to everyone).
