The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office arrested a man on multiple charges and recovered stolen tools following a theft-by-deception crime spree that attempted to use Facebook Marketplace to sell the stolen items. On July 10, 2025, the Sheriff's Office took a report from an employee at a Clackamas interior-supply store about a “theft by deception” resulting in the loss of thousands of dollars' worth of tools. The employee reported that someone had called the interior-supply business on July 9th, posing as an employee of a drywall company. The caller used the drywall company's account number to purchase over $6,300 of tools over the phone. The fraudulent caller then told the employee that the people picking up the tools would use a verbal "password" because the caller "didn't trust anyone." Later that day, a man and a woman arrived at the store, said the password, picked up the tools, and left in a grey-colored, four-door Chevrolet Bolt hatchback with Washington State license plates (surveillance photo attached). The employee called the drywall company to double check the sale and learned that the drywall company had not made the purchase.  » Read More

A new fake Facebook page has popped up attempting to lure Guam residents into a driver’s license scam, claiming to be "100% legit & registered," the Department of Revenue and Taxation said on Tuesday, warning residents against the scam. The fake Facebook page entices residents by claiming that they can waive the written and road test portions of the driver’s license process. DRT said it is Guam’s only authorized source for driver’s licenses and identification cards. The written and road tests are critical steps of the graduated process to full licensure, and are legal requirements needed to become a licensed driver on Guam, DRT said. All residents must undergo these tests to help keep Guam’s roadways safe. Residents are warned against falling for the scam by reporting and deleting this Facebook page if one comes across it. Residents are encouraged to verify any online or text message claims that provide a shortcut to DRT services by reaching DRT’s Call Center at (671) 635-1840/1841/7651 or emailing pinadmin@revtax.guam.gov. Businesses that require a driver’s license or Guam identification as part of the validation process are also encouraged to verify the legitimacy of licenses and identification by contacting DRT via email or phone.  » Read
