HARRISBURG, Ill. – A press release from Saline County Sheriff Keith Brown is warning residents to be aware of a recent scam alert.
Residents have reported to the Sheriff’s Office that they have received calls, with the callers stating they are with Publisher’s Clearinghouse and to send money to the caller, for better chances of winning the Publisher’s Clearinghouse sweepstakes.
This is a scam; Publisher’s Clearinghouse states that no money is needed to apply for the sweepstakes, and no purchase increases the odds at winning the sweepstakes.
Residents are reminded that if it sounds to good to be true it is, and that they should not send money to anyone claiming to be from Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
