Another attempt at scamming local residents through the Secret Shopper program was reported to the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office on March 14.

According to the report, officers were dispatched to National Title Pawn in reference to a fraudulent check. An employee said a woman came into the business wanting to cash the Wachovia Bank check for $1298.30. The employee said she had called to verify the check which  was from the Mystery Secret Shopper program. The customer told deputies she received the check in the mail that day. 

This incident reportedly is one of several fraudulent attempts in the area from the sender of the check to collect money, according to the report. The incident has been turned over to investigators.
