Streator Police warn of phoney newspaper ad

You can only be at one place at a time which is why Streator Police are calling a newspaper classified ad a scam.

The police department says its received several complaints of a scam that was ran as an ad in the Times Newspaper. The ad is for a caregiver who would be available to start July 8th. People who responded say that someone calling themselves “Jerry Cole” responded and wanted to meet them at different locations in Streator at the same time on Monday.

Streator Police are saying if you did respond to the ad, don’t meet this person.
