EDWARDSVILLE — Thanks to the generosity of local donors, several children in Madison County will wake up to new toys, clothing, and other gifts this Christmas. The initiative, for both the Community Christmas campaign and The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program, has garnered significant participation from community members, including staff from the Madison County Criminal Justice Center and the main courthouse. Judge Kyle Napp, along with her colleagues, took on the challenge of fulfilling 50 requests from the Angel Tree this year. "Every year, we try to do something good for the community," Napp said. "Last year, we gathered toys for Margaret Freer at Freer Auto Body's celebration, and everybody said they wanted to do more this year." The group not only met the Angel Tree requests but also collected a substantial amount of additional items, which were delivered to a Cookies and Cocoa event at Freer Auto Body in Godfrey last week. "I am really happy that the Angel Tree request

BENTON – Criminal organizations are manipulating older Americans into turning over their life savings to foreign conspirators, and U.S. Attorney Rachelle Aud Crowe is warning southern Illinois residents on the prevalence of imposter scams. “Unfortunately, we’re aware of several instances where seniors in southern Illinois have been victimized by imposter scams, most recently in Williamson County,” said U.S. Attorney Crowe. “The Marion Police Department did extensive investigative work in the case, and we’re pleased to have them as a partner to gain justice for the victims.” Imposter scams begin with a communication from the scammer in the form of a phone call, text or email from a seemingly reputable source like PayPal.

The scammer will then refer the victim to another fraudster posing
