Sandy LaRouche
LaRouche, in wedding attire, says she avoiding becoming a victim of a scammer offering to hire her for a wedding recently.



Wedding officiant Sandy LaRouche of St. Louis knew something wasn't quite right about the request for her services on a site wedding vendors use to find leads for their businesses.



The inquiry was vague about the location of the wedding, the grammar wasn't quite right, and the name used didn't match the email address.



The clincher was the check sent as a deposit: It was for far more than the $50 she requested.
