The Montgomery County Chronicle has been alerted to a scam whereby a person claiming to be an advertising representative for a company called Premiere Impressions is soliciting advertisements for for a “Montgomery County newspaper” for the holiday season.   This appears to be a scam.   Area businesses should be reminded that the Montgomery County Chronicle solicits advertisements through its advertising director, Emalee Mikel, either face to face or by a telephone call whereby she makes her identity known.  In no way is Premiere Impressions a representative for the Montgomery County Chronicle.  Be cautious about providing information to a firm called Premiere Impressions.
