1/22/26 8:54 AM FRAUD CHAPELLE DR On January 21, 2026, at an unknown time, the victim reported receiving an email claiming to be from PayPal regarding a disputed transaction of $549.99. Although the victim did not have a PayPal account, her husband did, so she believed the email may have been related to his account. The victim contacted the support number provided in the email and spoke with a male who instructed her to allow remote access to her laptop in order to reverse the charge. After gaining access, the caller advised the victim that she had mistakenly entered a decimal point, resulting in a deposit of $54,000 into her account. The caller then pressured the victim to return $20,000 electronically and withdraw the remaining $30,000 from her bank. While remaining on the phone with the caller, the victim went to her credit union and was instructed not to inform bank staff of the situation to avoid delays. The victim wired $30,000 from her account. When the funds were later placed on hold, bank staff explained the hold was to prevent fraud. The victim authorized the transaction, believing it to be legitimate. After discussing the incident with her husband, the victim realized she may have been the victim of a scam. Prevention Tip: Always contact companies using official phone numbers found on their websites or statements, not those provided in unsolicited messages.

1/17/26 9:52 AM FRAUD DAWNRIDGE RD On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the victim reported receiving a text message from an unknown and irregular phone number stating that his Robinhood account PIN had been changed. A follow-up message instructed him to call a provided number if he did not authorize the change. The victim contacted the number and spoke with an individual claiming his account had been compromised. The caller was able to correctly provide the victim’s name, date of birth, address, last four digits of his Social Security number, and the account balance of approximately $15,000. Believing the caller to be legitimate, the victim provided photographs of his driver’s license, his full Social Security number, and his four-digit account PIN. The caller stated the funds would be transferred to a “Safepal” account for protection. After the transfer was authorized, the caller disconnected, and the number was no longer in service. The victim later learned from Robinhood that the company does not partner with Safepal and that he had been defrauded. A fraud report was completed with Robinhood. Prevention Tip: Financial institutions will never ask for full Social Security numbers, PINs, or copies of identification via unsolicited calls or texts. Always verify account issues by contacting customer service through the company’s official website or app.

1/23/26 6:54 PM FRAUD RIVER OAK WAY On January 23, 2026, the victim received a phone call from a woman claiming to be “Jennifer” from Jolley & Jolley Law Firm, stating that $3,500 was needed to secure her son’s release from jail. The victim knew her son had been arrested that day in Boise, Idaho, which made the call appear legitimate. The victim provided her credit card information, and a $3,500 charge was processed. After speaking with family members, the victim contacted the Ada County Jail and learned no bail payment had been received, and her son remained in custody. The charge was disputed as fraudulent.
