(Rushford, MN) — Rushford officials are trying to recover more than 200-thousand dollars lost in an email scam. A clerk transferred the money after receiving an email that mimicked a state loan invoice. Staff discovered the fraud within three days, but the money had already left the account. Insurance covers only 50-thousand dollars, which leaves over 202-thousand dollars at risk. The BCA and FBI are investigating, while officials say the loss will not affect city operations.
