Montgomery County Sheriff warns of sweepstakes scam

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is telling people to be on the lookout for fraudulent checks in the mail

The sheriff says the checks are accompanied by a letter from “Tasty Selections Corporation Inc.” stating the recipient has won a sweepstakes.

They then ask for a processing fee.

The sheriff says this is not a legitimate sweepstakes and the check is worthless.

If you receive it in the mail, the sheriff says do not reply and throw the check in the trash.
