A Bradyville Pike man reported to Murfreesboro Police he fell victim to a scam. He told Murfreesboro Police someone by the name of Mike Robinson called him last week, saying he was from Publisher's Clearinghouse. The victim was asked to send in money, via Western Union, to Maurice Williams in Jamaica, in order to receive the money from Publisher's Clearinghouse. The victim sent 53-dollars before realizing it was a scam. He apparently checked online when he returned home and also found several others who had fallen victim to this same person or persons.
