 The Pikeville Police Department received a report this week from a local resident that she had been contacted through Facebook by a person claiming to be associated with country musician Brantley Gilbert, who is scheduled to perform in Pikeville this year during this year's Hillbilly Day celebration. Pikeville 9-1-1 Public Safety Director Paul Maynard said the person offered tickets to the alleged victim, but then asked for a suspect form of payment to complete the transaction. They had been befriended by someone identifying themselves either as or a part of his entourage or crew and sure enough when it came down time to actually receive the tickets they were going to need a form of payment first and they asked for an iTunes card so quickly found out that it probably wasn't true and once she started looking into it magically it all disappeared so you know we just want to make sure everybody out there understands that you know Facebook's a wonderful tool it's a great way to keep up with family and events going around the community but it's also a place you need to be really careful on as well. Maynard said anyone using any form of social media should be aware that scammers could target them at any time. He said anyone who believes they may be the target of a scammer should cease communication with the other party immediately and under no circumstances share personal or banking information.
