A Madison woman who thought she was talking with FBI agents about a warrant for her arrest is scammed out of nearly nine-thousand-dollars. Police today say the victim got a call earlier this month from someone claiming to be an FBI Deputy Inspector.
He claimed there was a warrant out for the victim’s arrest because her name and social security number had been used to open numerous bank accounts now associated with money laundering. The woman paid the scammer with gift cards from various retailers, which authorities say they would never accept as payment for anything.
