Spam Leads $4900 Fraud

A local resident reported that she had been conned out of $4900. On November 15th, the resident made the report to Sheriff's Sgt Jason Williams.

The 47 year old female reported that she answered an e-mail about becoming a mystery shopper. She then received a package via fed-ex containing two checks, each for $2450. She was told to use $100 to shop at Wal-Mart, use $50 for gas, and keep $200 for her pay.
