A Bedford County woman had $54,000 taken from her without permission over the past two months through online fraud, a Bedford County Sheriff’s Office report said Friday.
The victim had received a text message from an unknown number about a $249 charge for a business transaction that hadn’t taken place. She called the number and was given a website to visit.
She said the money was taken from her bank account and credit cards.
“She stated that she does not know who the people are and did not give them permission to take the money,” the report said.
Stolen vehicle
A vehicle stolen in Manchester was left in a driveway of a Jolley Road home early Thursday, according to the BCSO.
The ignition was torn from the vehicle and one window and a headlight broken, the report said.
