Markesan Police Warn About Inheritance Scam
4 August 2018 News
Markesan Police recently shared a copy of an actual letter on their Facebook page a community member received in an inheritance scam. Police say if you get a letter regarding some long lost relative you didn’t know you had and they have tons of money to share, it is a scam. They suggest that if it is too good to be true it probably is. The scam usually involves paying money to cover fees to get the money or inheritance. Markesan Police say a few years ago a family wired over $5,000 to a scammer to cover fees for a $10 million dollar inheritance. They never saw the money they were promised and lost the money they sent.
