The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office received a letter and check via FedEx at the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, November 26th.
The business and address is legitimate and the routing number is a valid Wells Fargo routing number. This type of scam usually instructs the recipient to deposit the check and send the majority of funds to a different address than what is on the letter and check.
The check that was deposited ends up getting returned but after the victim has already sent the money.
The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office is sharing this information so citizens can see what these fraudulent checks look like.
