A woman on Tuskegee Boulevard told police she has been in an online friendship on Instagram with a person claiming to be named Sarah. She has spoken with Sarah by phone as well and she said she is 39 years old and from Texas, but this is possibly false information. The woman said Sarah agreed to loan her some money and she was supposed to send some of it back to Sarah through bitcoin after the money was deposited to her Truist Bank account. She said Sarah was supposed to deposit $9,500 into her account this past Monday and she then withdrew $8,900. She spent the money but never sent any back to Sarah, and now she is in the negative on her account. She found out from her bank that the check that Sarah deposited was fraudulent and the bank had already pulled the money back out of her account. It was deposited from a business account by mobile deposit and she said she can’t see the check anymore once it’s deposited, and she doesn’t know the name of the business. She said she only knew Sarah by phone and Instagram and doesn't know if any of her information is real.
