On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office responded to a fraud-in-progress at a local residence.

A couple had received a call from someone claiming to be a fraud agent with their bank. The scammer told them $10,000 had been “wrongfully deposited” into their account and instructed them to immediately withdraw the money. They were told someone would come to their home to pick it up. The caller kept one of the victims on the phone the entire time, giving step-by-step instructions.

Although the scammer sounded convincing, the couple became suspicious and called us. Deputies quickly responded and strategically waited at the home for the suspect to arrive. Moments later, a vehicle pulled up. Deputies learned the driver was not the scammer, but a rideshare driver hired through a mobile app to pick up a box and deliver it to a convenience store parking lot in Charlotte.

Deputies assisted the couple in safely returning the money to their bank. The case is now with our Economic Crimes Unit, which is working to identify the suspects.

📢 Scams like this are becoming more common.
▪ Never give personal information or money to unsolicited callers.
▪ Legitimate banks will never demand cash pickups at your home.
▪ If something feels off, hang up and call your bank directly.
