Marshall County Sheriff warns of mail scam

The Marshall County Sheriff's Office is warning residents of a mail scam.

In a post to Facebook Wednesday, they said the scam involves residents receiving a check in the mail in which the sender requests that the recipient cash the check and forward part of the proceeds to them.  

The Sheriff's Office said if you cash the check, within a couple of days the check will be found to be fraudulent, and the full amount of the check will be charged back to your bank account.

Several other law enforcement agencies shared the post including the McCracken County Sheriff's Office who added if it's happening in Marshall County, you can bet it's happening here.
