Sheriff: Madison County will recover most of $2.7 million sent to cyber scammer
SUMMARY: Madison County officials are working to recover most of the $2.7 million lost to a cyber scammer impersonating a legitimate vendor, Hemphill Construction. The county has reclaimed a $128,000 payment and expects to retrieve another $1.58 million as well as a frozen $500,000. The scam was identified when the actual Hemphill Construction reported non-payment. Money was transferred based on seemingly legitimate invoices with a subtle email discrepancy. Law enforcement is investigating, with no criminal intent suspected from county staff. The sheriff emphasized the need for stricter verification for financial transactions. Federal agencies are assisting in the investigation.
