From the desk of Sheriff Scott Bradley

On March 3rd, 2017 a complaint has been made with the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office of a new scam.  A man with an accent is calling citizens in Van Buren County, telling them they have won a million dollars from Mega Millions and asking them to send a deposit to receive the money.  As everyone should know Mega Millions does not know who won, until the individual with the winning numbers contacts them.  So citizens beware of the scam and do not send any money to these people.  These scam artist will probably be using other lottery and give away names to scam you out of your money.
