WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) -- A Wichita man is out $15,000 after getting a call from someone who claimed to be with Amazon and believing what the caller said. According to District Attorney Marc Bennett, the victim is a man in his mid-70s who got the initial call last summer. The fake Amazon representative told the man that his Amazon account had been compromised and was being used as part of a drug-trafficking and money-laundering operation. The caller said he was transferring the call to the Social Security Administration. A supposed Social Security representative then claimed to transfer the call to the U.S. Marshals Service.

The fake U.S. marshal told the victim he needed to prove he didn't launder money through his bank accounts. He told the man to withdraw $15,000 from his Wichita bank and drive to Newton to complete two transactions. Both transactions involved the man buying bitcoin and sending it to the suspect. But the scammer told the victim it was not enough money and to go back to the bank to make another withdrawal. Bank employees recognized what was happening and told the man it was a scam. They encouraged the man to make a police report. A report was also made with the FBI. "Amazon, the Social Security Administration and the United States Marshall Service will never call you to say that your account has been hacked and will certainly not ask you to send money," the district attorney's office said.
