The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office warns residents to look out for scams.
A Stokesdale man recently received a letter informing him that he had won $250,000 in a “consumer promotion draw.“ Enclosed with the letter was a check for $4,680, which the man was instructed to deposit for the payment of the Canadian tax applicable to his winning. Also included in the letter was a money gram in the amount of $3,970 to a location in Canada. This type of “out-of-country” money transfer letter is a common scam, according to the sheriff’s office.
