From Det. Chris Iversen, Ocean Shores Police Dept:

I received a complaint today regarding a bogus letter and check that an Ocean Shores resident received.  The letter was an offer of employment out of the blue as a “Mystery Shopper” and the check ($3,975.00) was an advance payment of sorts.  This is the second such letter from the same source that we have been notified of recently in Ocean Shores.  This is another one of those scams in which the recipient is advised to deposit the check into their own account.  They are then to wire, via Money Gram, a large portion of the funds back to the company after keeping a portion for themselves as “salary.”  The recipient is requested to call a number provided in the letter to be given the location to the wire the funds to.  More than likely, this will be outside of the U.S. – probably Canada.  The checks invariably turn out to be bogus later on and the recipient is held responsible for the amount by their bank.  

Just followed an empty construction truck doing 50 mph on O.S. Blvd., 35 mph limit. Do these dudes get a free ticket to ride in town? (Any concerns about: kids; tourists; wild life?)
