Resident scammed out more than $150,000

told there was a warrant for her arrest by the federal government, was scammed
out of $150,000. The woman told Buffalo Grove police that she was instructed to
make transfers to avoid being arrested. She made transfers of $50,000, $75,000
and $25,000. The woman also purchased $4,000 in target gift cards and $750 in
Nordstrom gift cards and gave the numbers to the caller who said he was an
agent.

scam -- A man told police he responded to an to be a Walmart secret shopper
that required, in addition to paperwork, received a check for $2,890. He then
completed the task by purchasing $2,400 of Walmart gift cars. The man later
found that $2,890 had been withdrawn from his account because the check was
fraudulent. The bank is refusing to reimbursement for the $2,400.

Caesar’s ghost, where’s the truck? – A Buffalo Grove trucking firm worked
with the Buffalo Grove Police Department and Metropolis Police Department to
have one of its trucks returned. The incident began when a driver for the BG
firm was contracted to make a run to Mississippi. En-route, the driver had an
accident in Kentucky. The firm had the truck relocated to Metropolis, which is
near Paducah, Ky. Once the driver and truck were in Metropolis, the firm fired
the driver. The driver, however, would not turn over possession of the truck
until he got a bus ticket to his home in Philadelphia. The firm denied the
request. Unhappy, the driver started driving the now repaired truck. A GPS in
the truck indicated it was heading north on I-24. The firm, and Buffalo Grove
Police, informed the driver that he would receive a ticket back to
Philadelphia, at which time the driver returned the truck to Metropolis where
another driver picked it up.
