Officials with the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce say a fraudulent check could be floating around Harlan. The Chamber says it received word from a local bank that they had received a phone call from a Credit Union in Des Moines, Tuesday, wanting to verify funds from a check drawn from the Iowa Workforce Development in Denison. The check had Shelby County State Bank’s name on it however the routing number actually belonged to US Bank in St. Paul, MN.

The check was payable to a “Kaitlyn Stressman,” which should have been Stessman. Locally businesses should be warned that Iowa Workforce Development no longer has an office in Denison. If you see a check that is attempted to cash from them, contact your local authorities.
