Holton, Ph.D., is warning seniors about an attempt to scam seniors and steal their money. IDoA is acting to alert Illinois seniors based on a report by Springfield Police that two elderly females fell victim to the scam. In two recent cases, a man reportedly called and told the victim he works at their bank. He got the victims to share information from their bank statements and told them he believed a bank employee was stealing from their account. He asked for their help to catch the person. The man convinced the victims to make cash withdrawals from their accounts then meet with him to give him the cash. The man got away with almost seven thousand dollars. | | | | Date Created: | 01 14 2013 | | | | Agency ID: | 35**13 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000046272 Original UID: 25813 FIRST WORD: Seniors | |
