White Co. woman victim of con artists

By Ken Stanford Contributing Editor
CLEVELAND - A White County woman fell victim to con artists recently who rang up thousands of dollars in charges to one of her credit cards.<br /> <br /> The scam, according to the White County Sheriff's Office, started with a telephone call to the 52-year-old woman. The call told her she had won millions of dollars and a car but to claim the prize she had to send in $3,000 by Western Union.<br /> <br /> The woman did that and she also gave them a credit card number because the caller said they would use it to put money in her account. Instead, they used the number to make purchases totaling $13,000.
