The victim sent two checks to the suspect totaling $1,000. Deputies contacted the potential suspect, who advised they themselves were victims of a data breach, that someone compromised their social media account and began reaching out to close contacts for money. The actual suspect of this fraud is unknown, and leads have been exhausted.

On February 24th, Deputies investigated an identity theft in the 3000 block of Edison Street. The caller received an email from who they thought was Xfinity, requesting they update their account.

This was an unsuccessful phishing attempt, which is a common occurrence nationwide.
