January 28th, 2013 by
MLive has had multiple phone calls about the “old” Publisher’s Clearing House Scam resurfacing in Monticello, again.
Over the last two weeks, several local residents have received phone calls, where they were told to buy a certain cash card, or make a wire payment, in exchange for their “winning check” to be processed and delivered to them.
Please be aware that this is a scam, and don’t waste you time (or your money) with these calls.
