Victim Location 61270
Total money lost $4,000
Type of a scam Family/Friend Emergency
Scammer called my fiances grandmother, pretending to be her granddaughter, crying and saying she got in a car accident in a rental vehicle purchased with a Sam’s club credit card and didn’t have insurance for the vehicle. She said that there was $4000 in vehicle damage and the only way to pay the person back for it was with Sam’s Club gift cards. The grandparents went to Davenport and bought $4000 worth of gift cards and had the grandparent call them back and read the gift card activation numbers to them and proceeded to use the gift cards.
