Email Scam
| 13 Aug 2014 | 03:40
A woman told police March 2 that she forked over thousands of dollars not knowing that a friend?s email account was hacked. The 66-year-old woman said she received an email from a friend asking her to wire $1,492 to London via Western Union. She did so. A similar email arrived in her inbox from the same friend, though this time, he asked for $1,703. She sent the money again before discovering that the funds were not going to her friend.
