On July 18, 2013 at 8:18 PM, Officers were dispatched to a residence on the east side of the Sturgeon Bay for a scam attempt. Upon arrival the complainant stated he had received a check in the mail for $2200.00 for an item he was selling on Craigslist. The check was much more than the complainant was asking for the item. A short time later the complainant received a text message asking if the complainant had received the check...the complainant didn't respond and contacted Police instead. It was determined the check was fraudulent.
As always if it sounds too good to be true it probably is! Contact Police if you have any questions reference suspicious calls, mail, or any other incidents at 920-746-2450.
