Help Our Nanny Rebuild After Devastating Scam

Our Nanny is a survivor of an abusive marriage of 56 years and just when she began to find her way, she was a victim of an elaborate scam. She was threatened to tell no one and lost all of her money except $28 in cash. She was truly scared and feared for her life. Please read her story and consider helping.

In Nanny’s Words:

Around 12 o’clock on 12/2/24, Walmart called from [phone redacted] and said that they had some charges to my own account for over $1000 in gaming equipment.

They connected me to Allen Paris, EM badge number ID SA3296. He said that he was a fraud investigator and that he was investigating the fraud charges with Walmart. He also said there was also a warrant for my arrest, doc ID number, DC584457 warrant number TX7941 for drug trafficking and money laundering. He also said that they had found a Toyota Corolla car that was rented in my name in Raleigh, Texas, and that it had blood in it. The tag number is TX270398.

Then Sean Watson, DEA agent, ID 201786340 got on the phone and told me that they had found an apartment in Raleigh, Texas, apartment number 98023 on Lakeview Park. He said the found the apt vacant but they had found 20 pounds of cocaine, money and 15 credit cards in my name. He also provided my address which made me believe him more.

Sean also said that I needed to go to the bank and close out all account savings and checking in my name so the money would not be able to be frozen. He said my Social Security number would be suspended tomorrow and that all my accounts will be closed out, and I will lose the money.

Sean read my SSN to me and asked me if it was correct. He also stated that after all this was done, two officers from Social Security will come to my residence tomorrow 12/3/24 and bring me a new Social Security number and give me the papers showing that the coworkers have accepted the information that I gave them. Sean said these officers would bring a cashiers check for the money I would be placing with him for protection. Sean stayed on the phone with me through what remains of this horrible ordeal.

He then told me when I go to the bank he would be staying on the phone. When I let him know I was at the bank, he gave me instructions to go in and leave just enough money to keep the accounts open. He said if anybody questioned me, I was to tell them that I was having some renovations done on my house and I needed the money. I never thought it was a scam because he had so much detailed information and provided me with credentials. He also told me when I leave the bank and get back in my vehicle to let him know. He said paying these amounts will keep me out of jail.

He then instructed me to go to a local Food Mart and I was to let him know when I got to their parking lot. He then instructed me to go inside and find the bitcoin coin hub machine, and let him know. He instructed me on how to use the machine and how to put the money in the machine by entering CHB ATM code. The first time I deposited 11,748.00 which was from my checking and savings accounts. He then asked me if I wanted to loose all the money in my CD because of the government closing my accounts, or try to withdraw funds and send those to him. I went back to my bank where I withdrew $6,098.00 from my CD. I went back to the bitcoin atm and sent funds to him. The machine would not let me send $100.00 so I was instructed to purchase an Apple gift card at Walmart and send him pics of the code. I feared for my life and didn’t want to go to jail with all of these threats of freezing my accounts, car with blood in it, apartment with cocaine, money laundering, etc. So I thought I had to do exactly what he said.

After this was all done, he said I had done all I needed to do and thanked me for my time.

He did tell me that my phone was being monitored and that speaking to anyone about the transactions would void the agreement.

As of 12/3/24: Sean was calling all morning but we I did not answer the phone.

The bank and police offer little hope although they are as helpful as can be. Unfortunately, once bitcoin is transmitted, transactions are irreversible and not covered under FDIC protection.
