A vulnerable adult living on East Curan Street in Darwin was scammed and harassed, according to a May 14 theft report.
The scammer promised thousands of dollars to the 87-year-old individual for a $200 check. The victim sent the scammer $200, and then the scammer began harassing the victim for more money.
Meeker County Sheriff’s deputies advised the victim to send no more money and ignore the calls. In the meantime, deputies urged the victim change the phone account to an unpublished phone number, according to the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office.
