Carol Dickinson Stole $12,000 from me
September 23, 2021 my husband and I received a phone call in the voice of our 16 year old granddaughter. She said she was in trouble and needed our help she was crying. She said she was on a temporary phone and would have to hang up and someone would call us back. The callback was a gentleman who called himself Norman Cooke, Attorney at law. He said she needed a bond Of $10,000. I was to go to my credit union withdraw $10,000 in cash and mail it in the way he described by FedEx to:
Peter Murphy
(((REDACTED)))
Boynton Beach, Fl (((REDACTED)))
he described how I was to mail the cash through FedEx.
The next day he was to call and tell me what to do to get my $10,000 back. At that time he said he needed 10,000 more I told him we didn't have it he hung up and called back saying we could make it $2000. I was told to go to target and buy for gift cards for $500 each.
The next day he was to call and tell me what to do to get my $10,000 back. At that time he said he needed 10,000 more I told him we didn't have it he hung up and called back saying we could make it $2000. I was told to go to target and buy four gift cards for $500 each.
I was to scratch off and give him the numbers on the back of all four which I did. He told me he worked with a company that could get him the money in that way. I learned on Sunday, September 25 that this was a scam. And now my account at Michigan State credit Union is out $12,000. Thank you for your help.

...give your power of attorney and control over all your money to a trusted relative or attorney. You should not be handling your assets any longer, because you are clearly not capable of sniffing out glaringly obvious scammers. I'm really not trying to be mean, but if you'll fall for this, you'll fall for anything. Turn your assets over to someone with Sense and live on an allowance from them. You'll thank me the next time a scammer calls.
