Nebraska woman loses thousands after falling victim to a romance scam
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Grand Island Police are investigating a scam that tricked a 51-year-old woman out of thousands of dollars.
They say she fell victim to an online romance trap. The woman made a report on Tuesday, saying she sent an unknown person $22,000 to $24,000 worth of gift cards.
This happened between the months of March and July. GIPD says a bank or credit card company may help victims recover their money.
But they admit victims usually suffer a monetary loss.
