NPD shares new scam details
From Norwood Police Department (NPD) Chief Christopher Padden: Total loss of $22,000.00 through a sophisticated "Internal Investigation" scam.
Following the initial pickup, the scammers used the same pretext to successfully solicit a second withdrawal of $12,000 the following day.
The pattern continued on the third day when the victim was directed to the Bank of America branch in Dedham. However, the scheme was thwarted when an observant teller, sensing something was wrong, questioned the victim and identified the transaction as a scam. We were notified on the third day.
