Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office

The agency says shady car repair scams and outrageous towing and impound fees cost people in the U.S. tens of billions of dollars each year.

Some of the scams focus on romance, technology support, government impersonation schemes, and several other areas.

You should also never call phone numbers in such messages, even to tell the messager to stop contacting you.

The man was found Sunday morning, trying to paddle back upstream to his vehicle.

The apps are not necessarily dangerous but can be used by sexual predators or cyberbullies.

According to the release "for unknown reasons, the ATV abruptly left the west side of the roadway onto the right shoulder embankment and overturned on its side."

With many con artists using "spoofing", the calls can appear to originate in Wyoming.

While the scam is not a new one, the latest version includes some details that make it more believable than some past versions.
