FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. - Deputies in Forsyth County are issuing a warning after at least three elderly residents were scammed out of thousands of dollars.
Officials said the victims were contacted by a woman posting as a relative saying she needed money to get out of jail. The woman then turned the phone over to an "attorney" who explains to the victim they needs $18,000 or $20,000 to get their loved on out of jail in Cleveland, Georgia.
Then a man shows up at their house to pick up the money. Investigators released a photo of that man.
Authorities warn anyone who receives a call like that to no act on the request, but instead call police immediately.
