Leoma resident falls victim to scam

Lawrenceburg Now

A Leoma man filed a complaint with Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies recently, indicating that he had been scammed out of more than $3,500.

The fifty-eight year old victim came to the sheriff's department to report the fraud incidents. He said that he had been contacted by telephone on January 20 by a man who told him he was the winner of $2.5 million, a 2016 GMC truck, and $10,000 a month for the remainder of his life.

The victim said that the caller informed him that, in order to receive his prizes, he must first pay a "down payment" of $2,500. He said that he went to Walmart in Lawrenceburg and wired the man, who identified himself as Omar Blake, a total of $1,000. He said that payment was forwarded to a Walmart store in Florida. He told deputies that the next day he was instructed to wire $400 from Kroger to a Darvin Dozie, Michigan location.

On the following day, the victim said he was contacted for a third time, again by the individual who called himself Omar Blake. Blake told him that "they would go ahead and pay off his credit card debt." In order to do so, he said they would need his credit card account number and information. The victim said he did give him the information he asked for. Soon afterward, the victim learned that a withdrawal was made from his account in the amount of $2,316.64.

Because the withdrawal made from his account was classified as "preauthorized," the victim said his bank would not reimburse him for his loss.

The victim told deputies that during their last communication, he had told Blake that he was going to report the matter to law enforcement. He said that Blake told him "he would send him $400 back Western Union if he would not call the police." He said that he went to Kroger to get the money, but that Blake never sent it. He subsequently made his way to the sheriff's department to report the crime.

Authorities urge residents to stay alert to scams and remind you never to give out bank or personal information over the telephone or internet. Before sending money, they urge you to contact your local law enforcement agency to verify that the offer is legitimate.
