BOARDMAN, Ohio - A Boardman woman was scammed out of $4,500 after falling victim to a bail scam.

According to a police report from Boardman PD, the woman received a call on her landline phone on Tuesday from a scammer claiming to be a public defender telling her her grandson was in jail for a car accident involving a pregnant woman.

The scammer told the woman he needed money to bail her grandson out of jail and a driver would soon be at her house to pick her up.

The next day, police say a car driven by a female who was pregnant showed up at the victim's home and took her to the bank and withdrew $4,500 in cash.

Police say the woman was told by the scammer to lie about what she needed the money for.

Later, another vehicle arrived at the home, this time driven by a male who police say told the woman to place the money in an envelope with her account and routing number on it, to which she complied.

She was then told that the male would be back in two days to collect the rest of the money.

Police say the victim's bank account has since been closed and she was told not to answer the door or the phone for strangers. The woman told police she wished to pursue charges.

No arrests have been made at this time.
