TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County deputies are searching for a man and a woman they say scammed a victim in New York out of thousands of dollars after convincing that person their social security number was compromised.
That victim purchased several gift cards and gave those numbers and PIN to the suspects over the phone, investigators said.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police reached out to them asking for assistance because those gift cards were later used at four Walmart stores within Hillsborough County.
