DAVIESS CO. – The Indiana State Police are investigating a scam in which a Daviess County woman was taken for $16,000.
An elderly Daviess County woman told police she received a phone call from someone she thought was a family member who needed bond money.
The caller told the woman a bail bond courier would come to her residence and collect the money. The victim provided the alleged “bail-bond courier” with two envelopes containing a total of $16,000 cash.
Indiana State Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic man who is around 5 feet 9 inches, weighs around 160 pounds, and has dark hair. He was driving a dark mid-size, dark blue two-door passenger car.
Police ask the public to help educate family members who might be vulnerable to these types of scams.
Anyone with information about the male is asked to call the Indiana State Police.
