The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office is warning people of a check scam going around.
A Daviess County resident received a check for $3,500 from someone posing as the Payment Secure Department, being told to put it in their checking account and then send the deposit receipt to a phone number.
Daviess County Sheriff says that this is a scam. The check or money order will bounce and the person who cashes the check will be liable for the entire amount.
