Money is gone and town’s trust nearly spent – Residents fear fallout from Nigerian scam.

HARRISVILLE, Mich. – Way up high on Michigan’s index finger, in a sparsely populated place with lazy streets and a cluster of buildings on Lake Huron, the county treasurer can also be the referee of your kid’s basketball games, the guy in the next booth at the diner, the man who does your tax returns.
………..

Police and prosecutors say Katona lost at least $186,500 in county funds last year to one of the notorious Nigerian investment frauds, the kind of seemingly transparent schemes that people delete from their e-mail boxes every day. The damage, authorities say, may be much worse. An ongoing audit so far concluded more than $1.2 million in county money is missing. Police say Katona also lost $72,500 from his personal bank account.
