Sheriff Loe wants to reiterate that scams are occurring more and more often. Sheriff Loe doesn’t want anyone to be a victim of a scam. The newest reported scam is receiving checks to be cashed, then sending a portion of the money back via Western Union. The checks are not legitimate checks, which means when they get to the bank, they will be looking for the person that cashed them. Please do not become a victim of this scam. Most of these scams are here to trick you, but with this one, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
