Marseilles, IL – Police are warning residents about a new mail scam circulating in the Marseilles area. Authorities say fraudulent letters have been reported this week, aiming to trick recipients into sharing personal or financial information.
According to the Marseilles Police Department, these letters are designed to appear legitimate but are entirely fake. Their goal is to deceive residents into revealing sensitive details or sending money. Officers emphasize that recipients should not respond to the sender or share any private information.
The department also urged residents to look out for seniors and others who might be more vulnerable to such scams. “When in doubt, contact the organization directly or bring the letter to the Marseilles Police Department,” officials advised in a statement.
Police are continuing to investigate the source of the scam and remind the public that legitimate agencies will never ask for personal information or payment through unsolicited letters.
Residents who believe they have received one of these scam letters should contact the Marseilles Police Department immediately.
