A scam resulted in significant financial loss for a 68-year-old woman. She was convinced to give a man her debit and credit cards. This individual claimed to be a bank employee and visited her at home.
The incident occurred on September 2. A phone call preceded the visit, making the situation seem legitimate. Further details about the scam are available, including the events that unfolded after the initial call.
The suspect was later arrested following an alert from a Flock camera.
