MOVING FORWARD, THE CAYMAN ISLANDS ARE GOING TO HAVE A ROUGH NIGHT TONIGHT AND THEN COZUMEL TO CANCUN. COULD HAVE SOME IMPACTS DOWN THE ROAD. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THIS STORM. AS WE LOOK IN CLOSER THAT EYEWALL. SO CLOSE IF NOT MAKING LANDFALL RIGHT NOW IN JAMAICA. OOF! ROUGH, ROUGH DAY FOR THOSE FOLKS THERE. THIS TRACK TAKES IT OUT TOWARD THE WEST, MAKING LANDFALL AS A CAT TWO BETWEEN COZUMEL AND CANCUN. THEN IT’S WEAKER A BIT. A TROPICAL STORM THEREAFTER. THEN RAMPING BACK UP TO A CAT ONE HURRICANE AS IT GETS CLOSE TO LAND OVER MEXICO. SOUTH TEXAS WILL GET SOME RAIN OUT OF THIS, BUT DOWN THE ROAD, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING HERE AT HOME. WE’VE GOT HIGH. PRESSURE IN CONTROL THAT’S LEADING TO A BIG HIGH OVER US, THAT’S LEAVING US HOT AND A BIG DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO LEAD TO A BUILDING HEAT WAVE OVER THE COMING DAYS.

RIGHT NOW, A JEWELRY SCAM CONTINUING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ACROSS THE UPSTATE RIGHT NOW IN ANDERSON COUNTY, PEOPLE ARE SHARING THEIR STORIES AFTER NEARLY BECOMING VICTIMS. OUR MAYA PAYTON JOINS US NOW WITH MORE MAYA. YEAH, NIGEL AND CAROL. YOU KNOW, IT’S EASY TO SAY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER FALL VICTIM TO A PHONE SCAM, BUT WHAT IF THEY KNEW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND EVEN MORE SO, WHAT IF THEY USED THE NAMES OF OFFICERS THAT YOU KNOW AND TRUST? A MOTHER OF TRIPLETS WHO ALL HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS? GOT A FRIGHTENING CALL. THE CALLER SHOWING UP AS ANDERSON COUNTY AND GAVE THE NAME OF AN ACTUAL ANDERSON OFFICER GAIL PARISH SAYS THE CALLER ALSO KNEW HER PERSONAL INFORMATION. LIKE HER PREVIOUS AND CURRENT ADDRESSES, BANKING INFORMATION AND DRIVER’S LICENSE. GAIL SAYS THE IMPERSONATING OFFICER INFORMED HER THAT SHE MISSED JURY DUTY AND THERE WAS A WARRANT OUT FOR HER ARREST. AND UNLESS SHE PAID $3,000, SHE WOULD GO TO JAIL. SHE TRIED TO TELL THE CALLER THAT SHE COULD NOT LEAVE HER CHILDREN TO MEET OR TO PAY THE MONEY, BUT THEY STILL THREATENED JAIL TIME. I STARTED TO CRY. I WAS CRYING TOWARD THE END. YEAH, BUT BY THE POINT THAT HE WAS SAYING AT 5:00, THEY’RE COMING TO ARREST YOU. AND I WAS TELLING HIM, I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY. I WAS CRYING AT THAT POINT. WELL, LUCKILY, AFTER MORE QUESTIONS, SHE EVENTUALLY HUNG UP TO CALL THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE DIRECTLY AND LEARNED THAT IT WAS A SCAM. THE ANDERSON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THEY WILL NEVER CALL YOU ABOUT MISSING JURY DUTY. THEY WON’T DEMAND PAYMENTS OVER THE PHONE, AND THEY WON’T GIVE OUT BADGE NUMBERS. NOW, IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE SCAMMERS DO NOT STICK TO THE SAME SCRIPT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT THEY USE, AND THEY ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT MOTIVES. SOME WANT TO JUST MEET YOU OUT IN PERSON AND SOME JUST WANT YOUR MONEY. AND ANDERSON COUNTY I’M MAYA PAYTON, WYFF NEWS FOUR. GOOD MORNING THERE. THANK YOU MAYA.

STATE BUDGET GOVERNOR MCMASTER TOUTED THAT IT INCLUDES A HISTORIC 292 PROPOSALS FROM HIS EXECUTIVE BUDGET. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNOR DID ISSUE 21 VETOES TOTALING $2.3 MILLION, INCLUDING A PROVISO THAT PROHIBITS THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION AND TOURISM FROM USING FUNDS TO ADD MORE PUBLIC ACCESS TO PARIS MOUNTAIN STATE PARK. I UNDERSTAND IT’S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GET THERE, AND OUR PARKS ARE OPEN TO THE PEOPLE, SO PROHIBITING PROVIDING MORE ACCESS. I DON’T THINK IS APPROPRIATE. UM, PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISO. SO I’LL VETO THAT ONE. GOVERNOR MCMASTER HIGHLIGHTED THE INCOME TAX CUT TEACHER AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PAY RAISES. UH, COLLEGE TUITION FREE
