On March 1st Chattooga County Deputies responded to a complainant regarding a potential case of fraud.

Deputies received a call to respond to the Sheriffs office as an individual was there wanting to report a case of fraud.

The complainant, Richard Welles told officers that he had contacted and hired an individual named JaDaveon Alonzo to do some work for him. Welles found Alonzo over the internet and had wired Alonzo 2 separate transactions totaling over $500 to his bank account. The work has not been completed and now Alonzo will no longer contact Welles and refuses to return the money.

A report has been made of this incident.
