Coconut Creek Police Department Scam Alert
Work-from-home job scams are the basis of this Coconut Creek Police Department Scam Alert. People are attracted to the option of working from home, especially nowadays, and the bad guys know that. A 25-year-old Coconut Creek man recently got caught up in this scam after he thought he had been hired by a company to work from home. The fraudsters sent him a check and told him to cash it, then they told him a little while later that there had been some mix-ups, so he needed to wire a portion of the money here, and then another amount there... you get the picture. It didn't take too long for the man, and his bank, to figure out he had been hoodwinked. Upfront payments are always a big sign you're dealing with a scam artist, keep that in mind if you're work-from-home job hunting.
