Another Bowling Green couple fell victim to one of the numerous &#8220you have won” scams.

The couple received a check Feb. 12 for $2,900 from Halifax, Canada, saying they had won a foreign lottery.

They were directed to deposit the check, which they did, and wire the money back in exchange for $125,000. The Bowling Green couple wired the money and then found out the check was forged. The bank is holding them responsible for the $2,900, according to a Bowling Green Police Department report filed late last month.

Bowling Green police and other area law enforcement officers continue to warn the public about such scams. If it’s too good to be true, it is. They also caution that it is illegal to play foreign lotteries in the United States.
