St. Maries Woman Spots Elaborate Scam
Item: Elaborate scam includes check for 'winner'/Ralph Bartholdt, St. Maries Gazette-Record
More Info: When she got the check, Marilyn Bolser of St. Maries made a plan. The check for $5,340 came from the Publisher’s Clearing House, but was signed by someone at AA Dump Truck Services in Baytown, Texas. The circuitous wording of the accompanying letter, along with money from a truck company made Mrs. Bolser suspicious. “Scam,” she thought. “These guys are as phony as a $30 bill.”
Question: How can you tell when you're being scammed?
