A Florida man is in custody after allegedly posing as an FBI agent and scamming an elderly victim out of thousands during a staged "investigation," according to police.
Between April 15 and 16, an elderly man in Pembroke Pines received a series of phone calls from someone pretending to be a Wells Fargo employee, according to the Pembroke Pines Police Department. The caller claimed the victim's bank account was tied to a federal investigation and urged him to cooperate by withdrawing and handing over large sums of cash to assist the "FBI."
