Police warning public of serious scam
The Bullhead City Police Department is warning the public about a fraudulent check scam.
Several locals have reported they were offered money to cash a check for someone else. “Scammers who have possession of a stolen or counterfeit check ask someone else to cash the check for them,” said Detective Edward Betts. “They make up any excuse, such as they forgot their wallet or ID and need cash immediately. They sometimes offer the person money for doing them a favor.” Detective Betts said most of the checks were cashed into accounts through an ATM after bank hours. “So the scam artist gets the money, but you’ve deposited a bad check into your own account and the bank holds you financially responsible.” Police urge people to never cash a check for someone else. Legitimate checks can take up to 10 days to verify. For more information on other scams and prevention tips, log on to www.azag.gov
