A resident of neighboring Mercer County lost several thousand dollars in a recent scam.
According to Grove City Police, a 61-year-old woman was notified by text that she was the recipient of a loan and she was instructed to call an unknown person.
The person instructed her to obtain gift cards and provide them to him in order to obtain the loan. The victim did this three times for a total of $3,800.
An investigation determined the person initiating the scam was from out of the country. Grove City Police urge everyone to be cautious about anyone who asks for payment in gift cards over the phone or online. Anything suspicious should be reported to police.
