Melissa in the Morning: Trumbull Scam

Trumbull police are sounding the alarm about a fraud scheme that cost a local resident hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to police, the victim said she received a Microsoft Windows pop-up message in March when she contacted the telephone number associated with the message. She connected with somebody who claimed to be a Federal Trade Commission agent. The Trumbull resident ultimately transferred $900,000 in gold coins during two in-person exchanges in public parking lots. We got more details from Lt. Brian Falkenstein.
