Suspects try to get people to buy gold jewelry because they need cash It begins with people approaching 'victims' in parking lots of grocery and convenience stores and other public venues, and telling them various stories bout how they need cash or are trying to sell expensive jewelry to survive.

If it doesn't feel right, it's not.

If you're NOT expecting a package, there is NO reason to click on it.

Remember, if something is too good to be true, like getting $85,000 for free, it is probably too good and, more than likely, a scam.
