Sheriff Crockett reports another fraudulent check scheme, this one being out of Fairmont, Georgia.
According to the local complainant, “Nancy” called and told the complainant that she needed to “send $5,200 by Western Union to Edward Bolden/Bolten 463 Carter Boulevard, Fairmont, GA 30139 to win $10 million.”
Citizens are again reminded not to send money, checks or money orders to anyone under these or similar circumstances.
“What really happens is that you send them the check, they cash it, and you get nothing. Sometimes they will ‘wash’ your check with chemicals, rewrite it for a higher amount, duplicate it several times, and cash your check at various locations. By the time the check or checks get back, your money is gone and so are they” said Sheriff Crockett. |
