The Delaware Police Department said a resident of the 100 block of Blakemore Drive was defrauded by someone posing as a Facebook friend.
The victim was contacted through Facebook Messenger with a link where the victim could forward money by gift cards and would receive her money back with a profit. The resident followed the computerized link and forwarded $2,000 in gift cards. She received nothing back and the gift cards she purchased were redeemed almost immediately.
The incident was reported at 1:50 p.m. Jan. 4.
