KY Treasurer initiates alert on check fraud scam By OJ Oleka Communications Director, Office of State Treasurer Allison Ball Frankfort, KY - Treasurer Allison Ball initiated an alert on a check fraud scam that seeks to steal the identity of Kentuckians, her office announced on Monday afternoon. "When we saw the first check come in late Thursday, my office remained vigilant, watching for fraudulent activity," Treasurer Ball said in a statement. "When we knew that we had identified a potential scam, we conducted an internal review. Once confirmed, we took steps to immediately contact the Attorney General's and Secretary of State's Office." The scam is designed to get the check recipient to give away their personal information. The scam goes as follows:
"This is a very sophisticated scam. These fake checks have continued to come in. My office doesn't tolerate people writing fake checks to prey on the good nature of Kentuckians," Treasurer Ball said. "I hope the Attorney General's Office works hard to swiftly and quickly prosecute those responsible. "Seek caution when giving out your bank information," Treasurer Ball advised. "The Kentucky State Treasury will continue to be a watchdog for the people." This story was posted on 2016-06-13 15:05:26
