Terol Castel Lyn, 24, is facing charges after allegedly impersonating an FBI agent and scamming an elderly victim out of thousands of dollars. According to Pembroke Pines Police, the scam took place between April 15 and 16, when Lyn contacted an elderly man, posing as a Wells Fargo employee.
The caller claimed the victim’s bank account was part of a federal investigation and pressured him into withdrawing large sums of money to assist the “FBI.” The victim, believing the story, handed over the cash during the staged investigation.
Lyn’s arrest marks another case of fraud targeting elderly individuals. Authorities are reminding the public to stay vigilant and avoid falling for similar scams.
