A North Carolina man has lost $12,000 after falling victim to a bank scam involving fake emails and spammers.
The man says he received an email on Tuesday, March 10th that appeared to be from his bank, telling him to call about his account, reports Durham Radio News.
He says he followed the instructions and called the number he provided and was told that his bank cards had to be taken by a courier for security reasons.
After some time, it is said that a person, who is said to be a man with brown hair and face, arrived at his house and took bank cards.
Meanwhile, the second suspect withdrew more than $12,000 from the victim’s account in several transactions.
Durham Police say they are investigating and have released a description of the suspects.
The second is a male with long black hair in dreadlocks wearing a yellow or beige puffer jacket, white shirt, khaki pants and black and white shoes.
Police are issuing a warning to the public, reminding residents not to give out their bank card or PIN to anyone.
Officials are now asking anyone with information to call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1805 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
