News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
A Cumberland County man recently lost a lot of money after sending $20,000 to a scammer.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said the man received a call from a woman posing as a DEA agent. She told the victim that agents found his social security card inside a burned car containing large amounts of drugs.
A press release said the woman told the man he would need to pay $20,000 or a warrant would be issued for his arrest.
After the scammer provided a fake case number, the man sent the money to a New York address.
The release said the incident remains under investigation.
