SALINE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a reported costly email scam.
In mid-January, Occupational Performance Corporation located at 917 E. Prescott Road in Salina received several emails claiming to be from the CEO of the organization requesting money transfers that ranged from $37,000, $70,000, and $90,000, according to police captain James Feldman.
The company became suspicious and did not transfer the third request for $90,000 and notified police. Once the emails were proven to be fraudulent, the bank did stop the transfer of $37,000. Authorities are working to recover the $70,000 transaction, according to Feldman.
Police have no suspects at this time.
Occupational Performance provides post offer employment testing system matching employees’ physical abilities to their new job, according to the company web site.
