Possible Bank Investigation Scam Involving Phony Police Officer

Law enforcement officials from a community in the central part of the state advised that they were investigating reports of an older adult being defrauded by someone who claimed he was conducting an investigation into criminal activity at her bank. In this reported variation of the bank investigation scam, the fraud artist presented himself as a local law enforcement officer. He allegedly convinced the victim to write a check that was payable to him so he could use it to flush out wrongdoing at the bank. In most variations of the bank investigation scam, the fraud artist claims to be an investigator employed by the bank itself.
