Scammers Are Bailing With the Hard-earned Dollars of Missouri Farmers

Scammers Are Bailing With the Hard-earned Dollars of Missouri Farmers


Scam artists are taking advantage of Missouri’s drought and farmers.

Scammers are bailing with the hard-earned dollars of Missouri farmers.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture says it has received reports from producers who paid for hay upfront through a wire transfer, only to have no hay delivered.

The department says the scams are driven primarily through fake social media accounts.

In most instances, the account appears to be real and gives no immediate indication of a scam.

The agency recommends if you do not know the seller, ensure the seller is reputable.

When possible, view the hay in person before any exchange of money.
