Mountain Home, AR. – The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office has reported that roughly $32,500 has been wrapped up in fraudulent cases and activity this year, and warns that individuals should be alert for further scams.
The Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery released this statement on Saturday, and iterates that the previously spoken-of $32,500 in fraudulent cash activity only represents cases they are aware of, which means the actual number could be quite a sum more.
A recent case of a successful scam occurred on April 17th, where the the Sheriff’s Office received information that a citizen had lost $2,000 to someone claiming to take investments for The Bank of America.
Those who have information on scams, or have been a victim of one, are asked to provide information to the Sheriff’s Office at 870-425-7000.
