If you haven't made any New Year's resolutions yet, the East Millinocket Police Department in Maine has the perfect one that can help protect you from being targeted by fraudsters: DON'T abbreviate the year 2020 on legal documents or checks.
As ABC 16 reported, law enforcement officials are discouraging people from going the easy route when writing out the date and say to write "2020" instead of "20" in order to protect themselves against scams.
