Scam Alert – Check Scam
by Sublette County Sheriff's Office
November 30, 2018
The Sublette County Sheriff's Office has recently received reports of a scam where people are attempting to sell their items online, the "buyer" then agrees to buy the item. However, they want to send a check to the seller for more than the agreed price. The "buyer" then requests the seller to cash the check and then send money orders for the extra amount back to the "buyer" and keep the agreed upon amount.
We have received several reports of this locally. Please beware of scams like this, as there are always people out there trying to find new ways to deceive the public.
