Bowling Green Police Division has taken two complaints from  businesses in Bowling Green that received scam phone calls from a male subject.  The male spoke with a southern accent and claimed to be conducting a counterfeit money investigation at the business and needed the employees help.  The male also claims he is working with local law enforcement and requests the employee turn over the money from the store to him as part of the investigation.

Neither business fell for the scam, but the police want other businesses to be aware in case they get similar calls, BGPD Lt. Dan Mancuso said this morning.

Anyone having any information related to these incidents is encouraged to contact the Bowling Green Police Division at 419-352-1131, or Wood County CrimeStoppers at 1-800-54-CRIME.
