Kirksville Resident Avoids Scam Attempt

By Newsroom

The Adair County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is warning about a phone scam….

A resident was recently contacted by phone. The caller said they represented Publishers Clearning House and told the resident they had won won $3.5 million. The caller went on to say that in order to deliver the winnings, the resident would be given a partial check that needed to be cashed in the resident’s bank, which would be used to pay taxes on the winnings. The resident asked for documentation and also asked for their attorney be present and the caller hung up. Authorites say this type of scam typically asks a person to cash a large check and then send most of the money to an overseas address. The original check later bounces and the victim is on the hook for money owed to the bank. Adair County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Wilson says that if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Secondly, if you did not enter into a contest, drawing or any other item where you can win something, then don’t bite on the bait.

Governor Sued

By Newsroom

A lawsuit against the governor is put on hold for now.

A woman who was fired from the Dept of Labor is suing governor nixon for age and gender discrimination. But a judge says the case will be hear next year — in February — and Nixon will be out of office then. Graci Backer claims that her boss at the labor dept created a hostile work environment and discriminated against older women in the office. She complained about it to the govenor’s office, writing a letter that included a list of 20 other employees who supported her complaint. Two weeks later, Backer was fired by Nixon, and the governor appointed her boss to a six figure job as an administrative law judge. Backer is no stranger to politics — she served in the state house for years and says she has a solid case against Nixon. The governor’s office declined comment on the suit.
