Occasionally, we come across fraudulent Halwell Mutual Insurance Company cheques that are used in various scams. More specifically, individuals have reported receiving cheques in Facebook Buy and Sell Groups. These scammers falsely claim to be making a purchase using a Halwell Mutual cheque. They will say they are assigning the cheque to you, then ask you to deposit it and send them the additional amount back to them by e-transfer.
If you receive a cheque from Halwell Mutual via Facebook or a similar platform, please know that this is fraudulent. Please do not engage with any account who is claiming to send you money via a Halwell Mutual cheque.
