The next day, the suspect called and said he would have to refund her with $3,000, from a company in China, and she would need to send $2,500 back to him via Western Union.
The victim with to a grocery store and obtained a Western Union wire for $2,500. The suspect called again, and said the company in China accidentally credited her with $5,500. He asked her to wire $5,000 back to him.
At this point, the victim contacted a family member who advised her to call police.
While police were at the home, the suspect called again. The officer asked his name. He said it was John, but did not know how to spell it. The number linked to the calls was registered to a Magic Jack and appeared to be from a foreign country.
