Complaint Review: Carol Dickinson

September 23, 2021 my husband and I received a phone call in the voice of our 16 year old granddaughter. She said she was in trouble and needed our help she was crying. She said she was on a temporary phone and would have to hang up and someone would call us back. The callback was a gentleman who called himself Norman Cooke, Attorney at law. He said she needed a bond Of $10,000. I was to go to my credit union withdraw $10,000 in cash and mail it in the way he described by FedEx to:

Peter Murphy

(((REDACTED)))

Boynton Beach, Fl (((REDACTED)))

he described how I was to mail the cash through FedEx. 
The next day he was to call and tell me what to do to get my $10,000 back. At that time he said he needed 10,000 more I told him we didn't have it he hung up and called back saying we could make it $2000. I was told to go to target and buy for gift cards for $500 each.

The next day he was to call and tell me what to do to get my $10,000 back. At that time he said he needed 10,000 more I told him we didn't have it he hung up and called back saying we could make it $2000. I was told to go to target and buy four gift cards for $500 each.

I was to scratch off and give him the numbers on the back of all four which I did. He told me he worked with a company that could get him the money in that way. I learned on Sunday, September 25 that this was a scam. And now my account at Michigan State credit Union is out $12,000. Thank you for your help.
