A few of the local businesses have reported a fraudulent letter to the sheriff ’s office. In the letter, the sender claims that the business owes a laughable some of money; in this case $175,173,862.23. The sender then gives an 844-number they can call to dispute the charge, in order to get the receiver of the letter on the phone. It should be noted that there is no address for the receiver to pay the bill if they wanted to. Similar scammers hope the receiver will call and to dispute the charge. Once they do, they will negotiate a smaller charge which the receiver may be willing to pay.
