CANEVARI DR |
On May 27, 2025, at about 10:00 AM, the victim was using her computer when the screen froze and displayed a message stating Windows had crashed. The message included a QR code directing her to contact Windows for assistance. She followed the instructions and called the provided number. A male (Suspect 1) claimed he could fix her computer and said multiple unknown IP addresses associated with the Pornhub website had been detected, making her computer vulnerable to hacking. He further claimed her bank account had been compromised, with a fraudulent charge of $23,000 spent on Pornhub. The suspect transferred her call to a woman (Suspect 2), who advised her to withdraw as close to $23,000 as possible and keep the money at home. She was told that an agent from the FDC would arrive to secure the cash in a vault while the fraudulent charge was resolved. Around 3:45 PM, a faded red sedan parked near her residence. Suspect 2 then instructed her to meet the agent outside and hand over $20,000 in cash. She complied, handing the envelope to a male suspect, who then drove off in the sedan. |

WHISTLESTOP WAY |
On April 1, 2024, the victim matched with someone on the Zoosk dating app. They exchanged messages and phone calls over the next year. The suspect spoke with a Nigerian accent, but his profile picture depicted an older white man. Early in their conversations, he sent her flowers and a promise ring. He claimed to be working in Dubai without access to his bank accounts, stating he was employed by a construction company and had $51 million in the bank. By June 2024, he began requesting money, promising to repay her. The suspect asked for financial help for various reasons, including:
- $250,000 for an excavator
- $75,000 for bail on two occasions
- $150,000 for taxes in Dubai
- $25,000 for hotel expenses
- Other unspecified costs
The victim FaceTimed the suspect twice, saying he resembled his profile picture but they never met in person. On August 28, 2024, she received a check for $350,000 from an Arkansas address but was told to wait before depositing it. She sent him money through various methods, including PayPal, checks, cash, and wire transfers. Multiple banks processed these payments, with many checks directed to transportation companies. Ultimately, she estimated her total financial loss at around $1 million. A local bank confirmed that the check she received was fraudulent.
