WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas - White Settlement police gave a $23,900 check to an elderly woman who was the target of a scam.
Body camera video showed the moment Sergeant James Stewart confronted an 84-year-old woman who was depositing large amounts of cash into a Bitcoin ATM.
She told the sergeant someone from her bank's security team needed her to deposit $40,000. The woman was moments away from sending the money when police arrived after receiving a call from a Good Samaritan.
Police said the scammer had been calling this elderly woman all week, threatening her and convincing her to send the money.
