In June of 2023, a friend of the victim reached out to her on Facebook Messenger and told her about a Social Security Grant fund that could help her pay medical bills. The victim has known her friend for about 45 years, and they have regularly communicated through Facebook. Through the conversation, the friend recommended an agent named "Heather Crocker" to assist the victim in obtaining her grant. The victim reached out to "Crocker" and was asked a few “screening questions” to make sure they had her correct information. "Crocker" verified the victim's place of birth and her mother’s maiden name. With all the information," Crocker" informed the victim that she was approved for a $200,000 grant if she paid some fees and taxes. "Crocker" requested that the victim pay the fees by purchasing three $500 gift cards from Apple and sending pictures of them. After the victim paid the fees with the gift cards, "Crocker" requested more fees multiple times via instant transfers between bank accounts using Zelle and purchasing Apple products and mailing them to an address that the victim was provided. The victim's bank started to notice the large amounts of money that she was spending on transfers and Apple products, so they contacted her to advise that she may be caught up in a scam. To protect the victim's accounts, the bank froze all transactions on her accounts and referred her to a Senior Abuse Center to try to help out with the scam. This continued until January 2024 when the victim's friend reached out saying she had not heard from her at all and wanted to catch up. The victim was very confused because she believed she had been talking to her friend when she was recommended to "Agent Crocker". The friend told the victim she had her Facebook account hacked, that it was not her who recommended "Agent Crocker," and it was a scam. The victim then stopped making payments to "Crocker," but charges started coming through on her credit card. The victim contested the charges made and filed a claim with Wells Fargo to request her money back. Total loss is estimated at approximately $200,000. |
