Woman posing as agent steals $25K from NC resident; fake federal scam used in-person cash pickup.
A woman posing as a federal agent scammed a Transylvania County, North Carolina, resident out of $25,000 in cash, authorities said.
The scam began with a phone call claiming the victim had committed a crime and needed to pay money to resolve it.
After failing to get the victim to transfer funds via a cryptocurrency machine, scammers sent a woman impersonating a federal agent to collect the cash in person.
The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office released images of the suspect and urged the public to help identify her.
Officials emphasized that real federal agents do not demand money, use cryptocurrency machines, or collect cash in person.
