MSN
GLEN ROCK, NJ — After giving their banking information to a scammer who called them on the phone, a Glen Rock couple was swindled out of $100,000 from three accounts, police said this week.
According to the Glen Rock police, the couple contacted them last Wednesday about the unauthorized transactions.
They said that at first, they got fraudulent text messages saying there were unauthorized charges on their credit accounts.
Then, the couple got a call from someone pretending to be a bank representative, saying there were fraudulent transactions made on their bank accounts.
The caller asked the couple for their bank information in order to reverse the transactions. The couple gave the person their information, police said.
When they checked their accounts at three different banks, they discovered unauthorized wire transfers exceeding $100,000, they told police.
