Thursday, December 31, 2015
The Portageville Police Department is receiving information of a scam that is taking place on Craigslist. The scammers are buying items for sale and paying for them with counterfeit checks and/or money orders. The scammers are sending checks or money orders in the amount that exceeds the asking price, and then having the victims deposit it into their own accounts and sending back the remaining balance to a specific address.
