When questioned, the man told officers he’d received a phone call from someone claiming to be his bank, informing him of fraudulent charges to his bank account.
He informed them he was on his way to deposit a huge sum of money into the advised bank account from the caller.
Police let the man know that the phone call had been a scam, and saved him from handing over thousands of dollars.
We’re being reminded to never give personal information over the phone unless from a trusted source.
