Ironwood, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – A western Upper Michigan woman is facing fraud charges after reportedly collecting thousands of dollars in a years-long rebate scam.
59-year-old Carol Rae Vitton of Ironwood was charged last week with mail fraud.
She’s accused of creating more than 700 sales receipts to get $9,000 in rebates from alcohol companies starting in September 2010.
Reports say a guilty plea is planned in federal court in Marquette, and Vitton and has pledged to repay the money.
