An impostor who pretended to work for the Bank of America reportedly stole the savings of a woman in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It all started after Tami Schauf received what she thought was a legitimate call from her bank informing her that there was suspicious activity on her account, reports WCNC Charlotte.
The victim says the call seemed credible because the caller knew everything about her and was able to provide personal information and send verification codes.
Believing that she was protecting her finances, Schauf followed the caller’s instructions to withdraw more than $30,000 from two separate banks and hand the money to someone she was told was a private investigator.
Schauf later filed police reports after realizing that she fell victim to a bank impersonation scam. Investigators say that she is one of at least five people who reported a similar fraudulent scheme in the area.
Schauf says that what happened is a traumatic experience. Recovering the money lost would be difficult unless the suspects are identified and caught. She says she is sharing her experience to warn people of the scheme.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to me…People need to be aware that this is the real deal. It is out there, and they are actively doing things.”
