Police have arrested a New York woman they say scammed a Cape Cod resident out of $46,000, according to Barnstable police.
Flushing resident Yuxin Fu, 24, is facing charges of larceny over $1,200 and receiving stolen property over $1,200 in connection with the scam, Barnstable police said in a Sunday press release.
In December 2022, Barnstable police received a report from a victim in Marstons Mills who had been instructed to transfer $46,000 into a “safe” government account, police said. A scammer had posed as a member of the Drug Enforcement Administration and told the victim that their social security number was linked to an investigation in Texas. Because of this, the scammer told the victim, they needed to transfer their money to a government account to protect their money from being seized.
