In her 22 years working for Strongsville Schools, Lynn Gory never took a phone call quite like the one she did a few weeks ago.

Here's what we're working on for this week: Scammers are targeting people at work in Northeast Ohio. We'll tell you which profession they're going after at the moment in my story Tuesday at 11.She says she was skeptical, so she called the teacher he requested down to the office.“I said, ‘This is a joke, right?,’” Buckley said. “I was scared. I didn’t know what was going on.

“It’s ridiculous,” Buckley said. “It’s not like we are like high income like high social status like anything.” Police will never direct you to purchase gift cards, reloadable cards or bitcoin to pay a fine or fee. These are payment methods scammers request.
