SIKESTON -- Within the last two weeks, the Sikeston Department of Public Safety officials report two scams have been tried on residents in Sikeston. In both of these scams, the intended victims were contacted via the internet. In one scam the intended victim was being used as a middle person to broker an exchange of merchandise and guaranteed money if they would cash a check and send the largest portion of the money back to them via Western Union.
