Police Chief warns citizens of mail scams

Chief Chapman was contacted in regard to yet another mail scam. This latest one involves a 'secret shopper' company. The company sends a check for thousands of dollars. The victim is to deposit the check in his or her own bank account, then, to send a money order through Western Union, MoneyGram, etc. to the company. The victim is supposedly 'rewarded' with a percentage of the money to keep. Chief Chapman said if anyone is contacted about such offers or employment to contact him at 297-2106.
