Police are again urging residents to beware of email and telephone scams after $77,000 was drained from a Sandwich womanâs bank accounts last week.
The 59-year-old woman was in tears when she walked into the Sandwich Police Station on April 22 just after 7 PM to report the theft, police said.
She told police that she had received an email from what appeared to be Norton 360, the computer security company.
The email stated that her subscription to Norton 360 had been renewed at a cost of $278.98.
Not having authorized the renewal, the woman called a phone number at the bottom of the email. The scammer who answered apologized for the mistake and directed the woman to download an app on her laptop. The app provided a form that the woman filled out for her refund. Part of the information the form required was the womanâs bank account number.
