 Hello, I'm Detective Stuart from the Sheboygan Police Department. Here are some tips to avoid being the victim of a scam. If you are selling an item and the buyer sends you a money order in excess of the agreed upon price and asked you to wire them the difference, stop. This is a scam. Do not cash the check. The check will be fraudulent. If you cash the check, the bank will hold you accountable for the full amount of the check. If you know someone who is vulnerable to a scam, talk to them and ask them to talk to you prior to sending anyone money. For more information on scams, stop at the Sheboygan Police Department and pick up a pamphlet or research scams online.
