Both The Consumer Fraud Division of the Shasta County District Attorney’s office and Burney Patrol Division of the Shasta County Sheriff ’s department are gathering information from merchants who paid money to Village Maps of America representative Tina St. James last summer on the promise that they would be included on an illustrated map and receive copies of the map. The list has grown substantially since Mountain Echo broke the story in the June 26 issue.
Any merchant who paid St. John is asked to call the District Attorney’s Consumer Fraud Division can call on the county’s 800 number (800) 479-8009, ask for the District Attorney’s office, wait until the “other” option comes up and ask for the consumer fraud division. To contact the Sheriff ’s Office call 245-6070 and leave a message for Sgt. St. Clair. Mountain Echo is also keeping a list and will give it to the investigators when they contact the paper.
