THE GUNNISON POLICE DEPARTMENT has received reports recently of an employment scam. An individual has been contacting local cleaning companies and requesting their services. The caller will schedule a future date to have their residence cleaned and then send a check for payment. The check will be for an amount larger than the cleaning company requested for their services. The caller will ask the cleaning company to forward the extra amount to individuals the caller owes money to through electronic apps like Venmo, Zell, and Cash app. After the extra money has been forwarded to others, the caller will terminate the scheduled home cleaning and request their money back through the same electronic money exchange application. The check deposited by the cleaning company will eventually be identified as fraudulent / a forgery by the bank, and the cleaning company will have had the amount of the check stolen from them. Do not fall victim to this scam. Receiving a check for more than was agreed upon with the request to forward the money

to others is a common theft technique used by scammers.

There have also been reports of people receiving email messages threatening to provide embarrassing and intimate photos of the individuals to their family and friends if they do not provide the scammer with $2,000 in bitcoin. These email messages can be very believable because they often contain specific personal information about the individual receiving the threatening email message, to include their address and a Google earth photo of their residence. This is a scam. Do not fall victim to blackmail demands for money.

If you have been a victim of these scams or have questions, please contact the Gunnison Police Department (970)641-8201.
