The South Boston Police Department is warning local businesses and banks of a possible scam.

On Thursday the South Boston Police Department was notified by another police agency about a current scam happening in nearby jurisdictions.

A male subject is entering businesses with a New York Driver’s License, an item showing Virginia residency (Electric Bill etc.) and a US Treasury check, all of these items are fraudulent; however, the US Treasury check is temporarily allowing the man to obtain large amounts of cash.
