IUKA, Miss. (WTVA) — The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department is warning its residents about a “gift bag scam.”

The potential victim receives a postcard — supposedly from Publishers Clearing House — and is directed to a website to submit personal information and pay a fee.

The potential victim is then directed to a Walmart store to receive a gift bag that doesn’t exist.
