Police Department, Springfield, VT
January 15 - March 16
Victims one by one trickle in....the story the same .... Holly .... scamming individuals (she reportedly has at least one accomplice) of $140.00 to "help her release a $10,000.00 CD" because her husband "left her destitute".
Says just enough to invoke familiarity, went to school with your son/daughter, you know her grandparents, I remember you - you used to work here or there...Bubbly, maybe even Feigning Grief to add to the "Destitute" performance.... Trusting....
PLEASE, the choice is ultimately yours, but be very, very much aware that the stories, no matter the tale spun, are lies... it's nothing more than a scam.....
And because it is a verbal agreement, a loan, a civil action, we can do nothing to criminally charge her.
According to one post, she again scammed someone yesterday with the same story...
I find it hard to believe that nothing can be done legally to stop these types of scams. What ever happened to "theft by deception"?
ReplyDeleteChester, VT PD is putting together a case against her for "False Pretense" She went to court yesterday. I haven't heard what the outcome was yet
ReplyDeleteThe man that I work for got hit for money in Springfield but I told her to leave. She came back twice and the Springfield Police were notified. She gave a story about needing money to pay for a house payment.
