The Cuyahoga County Scam Squad warns county schools about a new phone scam. Michaela Buckley, a teacher with Strongsville Schools, was a target of one of the scam calls but thankfully called the police department before cooperating with the scammers. The Scam Squad is reminding the community that courts do not phone people with arrest threats, direct payments over the phone, or direct individuals to go to the Justice Center. (Cleveland 19 News)
