The suspect then convinces the victims to meet him at a predetermined location to assist in the investigation. The suspect shows the victim what they believe to be law enforcement identification described as a “gold badge”, identifies himself as a police lieutenant, and then instructs them to go into the bank and remove a large sum of money. The suspect tells the victim the money taken from their account will be replaced with marked bills and leaves with the victim’s money.

The suspect appears to have the telephone numbers of the victims and knows where they bank. The suspect has claimed to represent at least two banks, Bank of America and Wachovia, but may attempt to use other bank names. So far two elderly victims have reported lost money as a result of this scam and one victim has contacted police and reported an attempt.

Message from Sheriff Grady Judd

On Thursday, my deputies arrested a man wanted in two other states for defrauding the elderly. This man belongs to a group of traveling scam artists, who often refer to themselves as “gypsies.” We located a group of these folks parked in various 2007-model trucks, motor homes, and trailers at the Theme World RV Park in Haines City. They earn their living by fraudulently claiming to do home repairs, such as fixing roofs and driveways. Once they get a contract and a down-payment on the promised work, they leave town, only to set up camp in another unsuspecting town and prey on the citizens there.

 Please beware and notify your local law enforcement agency immediately if you feel you have been a victim. With your help we will rid Polk County of traveling criminals.
