Altoona Police are again warning city residents to be on the lookout for lottery scams and check fraud.

The latest incident was reported to city police Tuesday. Authorities say a resident received a $4,800-dollar check from a company identifying itself as Starline Industries of Canada. The scam claimed that the victim would be awarded a larger amount of money if they cashed the check and sent half the amount to an address at another location.

City police are asking residents to contact them if they receive this or any other type of scam. You can also report the fraud to your banking institution.
