Law Enforcement Officials Warn of Work At Home Scam
Posted August 27, 2007
| The Oswego Illinois Police Department is investigating an Internet-based scam involving work-at-home scenarios. The scam starts with the victim receiving e-mails that outline a work-at-home program. The e-mails lead to the victim eventually receiving a check in the mail with instructions to cash the check. The suspects advise the victim to keep a small percentage of the amount for themselves and send the remaining amount to the suspect via Western Union. After that money is sent, the victim finds out the check is fraudulent. Police advise residents not to accept checks from unknown sources and to question any opportunities to earn from sources that sound “too good to be true.” |  |
