Woman hands over $17,500 to alleged scammer who showed up at her NC home: 'You have to get cash'
ABC 7 Eyewitness News
ORANGE COUNTY, N.C. -- A North Carolina woman was scammed out of more than $17,000 - and she's not alone. Investigators say it was all part of a large scam operation that took thousands of dollars from victims in several counties in the state.
In this case, the scammers were able to print from her printer and even came to her house in person to collect the cash.
"Every morning I wake up and I'm like, 'I just want this nightmare to go away,'" the victim told WTVD in North Carolina.
The woman, who asked not to name her or show her face for fear of being targeted again, says she wants to share her heartache in hopes of preventing this scam from happening to someone else.
