A woman from Butler County lost over $1,000 from an online scam involving Walmart gift cards.
State Police say a 78-year-old woman from Hilliards was contacted via Facebook from a person who she believed was her friend Patricia. Patricia said the woman could make $80,000 if she donated $1,325 in Walmart gift cards to an organization.
The woman then called a man who claimed to be with that organization who directed her to send the gift cards to him.
After the woman never received her money, she spoke with her friend Patricia—who said she had never sent the messages.
Police were called and are currently investigating the scam.
