It's yet another case of attenmptemted fraud as Officers were dispatched to Logan St. The victim received a phone call from a person claiming to be a relative in legal trouble in a foreign country in need of financial aid. The Green River Police Department wants citizens to be aware of this re-occurring scam. Citizens are advised to check with other family members and friends to verify these of requests before transferring large sums of money out of the country. Once the money crosses an international border, there is no way to recover these funds. The potential victim was aware enough to not fall prey to the scam and called police right away. Anyone calling on the phone asking for money to be wired to them should be considered as suspicious.
