Important info regarding the Mid America Live mobile app...

Ah, change. You gotta love it... the world of mobile devices is changing every day, causing grief for some, including us. Specifically, the company who hosts our web app, MyLocal, recently announced changes that have forced us to stop using their services.

Thinking this further, we've decided to eliminate the idea of having an app altogether, at least for now.

Nevada Police Department Investigate phone scam

Nevada Police Department investigators have been investigating a Phone Scam. Nevada PD Officials say, they have received several calls from area residents reporting a call from an individual claiming to be an IRS Agent. The caller claims that the victim has delinquent tax payments and, if no corrective action is taken, a federal arrest warrant will be issued. These calls are bogus and the resident should be cautious to avoid becoming victim. The caller will often include the threat of federal civil action against them. Citizens who are contacted by the scammers should not provide any personal information to the caller. If you are contacted, Nevada PD encourages you to document the time and the phone number of the call. You are also encouraged to contact your local law enforcement officals if you have any information that would be helpful to combat the crime.
