Another Chattooga County resident has reported that scammers are continuing to harrass residents in the area.

 

On Monday, a Highway 100 man reported to the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office that he received a phone call saying that he had won a sweepstakes and a new car. He was told all he had to do was send a processing fee through Western Union to claim his prize.  The man was told to wire the money to a Kentucky address. 

 

The Chattooga County Sheriff's Office has warned residents that if you haven't entered a sweepstakes or contest, you probably didn't win one. Also, if you do win any sort of prize, having to pay money to receive it, is a pretty much evidence that you are being scammed. Remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.
