Internet jewelry scam warns Aiken residents
Aiken Public Safety warns of online check scams where jewelry sellers lost over 15 000 after sending rings to buyers. Victims received counterfeit cashier checks from Texas and had no recourse once the items left with a courier to Houston officials say. Use third party payers like PayPal and avoid shipping before payment to deter Nigerian scam style fraud.
