Amount of different scams is never ending and will never stop

Switzerland Co. Sheriff Brian Morton recently received information that some counterfeit 20.00 bills have been circulating in our area. All businesses should be exceptionally careful when excepting them.

The sheriff's department has also learned of another scam going around the area. The caller will offer you money in return for placing a decal on your vehicle. A size-able check will be mailed to you with instructions to cash it, then give a determined amount of the funds to a subject that’s supposed come install the decal. As always use caution, if something sounds to good to be true it usually is.

The amount of different scams is never ending and will never stop. Our office stresses to never give personal information or payment over the phone when you receive these types of calls.
