Woman lose $7,400 in apparent Internet scheme
A 31-year-old Muskego woman has apparently been duped out of more than $7,000 - money that she thought she was sending to a man she had met on an online dating site.
The victim told Muskego police that she and the man had exchanged photos and messages for months, and she thought they were going to get married.
The man claimed he worked for the FBI and said he needed money for a trip to Nigeria. At his request, she made two wire transfers last week to Nigeria totaling $7,420.
After the money was transferred, the woman was contacted by a man claiming to be her boyfriend’s representative. He told her that her boyfriend and his two children had died in an automobile accident and that she would not be getting her money back.
Police said they are investigating the incident, but there is little chance the money will be recovered.
