ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Scammers are at it again in Dougherty County and it cost one victim almost 10-thousand dollars.
Dougherty County Police (DCP) are looking into a scam they’ve labeled as theft by deception.
According to a DCP shift report from Sunday, someone filed a complaint that they were scammed out of $9,700 by someone posing as an FBI agent.
Unfortunately, scams like this still happen.
“Supposedly had a rental car that was in his name in San Antonio, Texas that had blood and drugs in it. Now what amount of money was gonna do to fix that? I don’t know,” said Sgt. Ted Wertz with the Dougherty County Police Department.
