The scheme, involving a courier and a one-dollar “password,” was linked to a rental vehicle tied to co-conspirator Leonard Lawrence, also charged in Montana for a similar gold heist. FBI data reveals seniors lost nearly $55 million to scams last year — a sharp rise. Authorities intervened, set up a sting with a tracking device, and arrested the suspect as he tried to flee. This case highlights the bravery of victims and the critical need for vigilance against impersonation scams. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
