On Thursday 3/28/2024 at around 12:30 pm I, Officer A. B. Taylor, was dispatched to a fraud call.
The following are involved:
Mr. Joseph Winslow (DOB: 9/19/1948) - Victim / Caller
Mrs. Linda Winslow (DOB: 3/30/1963) - Victim
I called Joseph on the phone. Joseph stated that yesterday his wife was frauded out of $3,550. He stated that his wife,
Linda, got a notification on her Ipad. The notification told her to call a number, or her bank account information was
going to be hacked.
Linda called the number and a female answered. The female stated she was with "Apple Security" and transferred her
to a male. The male identified himself as "Brandon" with "Ultimatum Dispute Resolution".
"Brandon" told Linda to go to the Bitcoin ATM at Smokiez (8838 US Highway 70 Bus W, Clayton, NC 27520).
There she sent $2,950 and $600 to the provided QR code. "Brandon" told her to do this so the hackers could not steal
her money. "Brandon" told her to leave $100 in the account so he could see if the hackers stole it.
Local Governments Federal Credit Union is the bank that Linda used. Joseph stated Linda did not give out the
account information.
