An impostor who pretended to work for the Bank of America reportedly stole the savings of a woman in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all started after Tami Schauf received <\/span>what she thought was a legitimate call from her bank informing her that there was suspicious activity on her account, reports<\/a>\u00a0WCNC Charlotte.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The victim says the call seemed credible because the caller knew everything about her and was able to provide personal information and send verification codes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Believing that she was protecting her finances, Schauf followed the caller\u2019s instructions to withdraw more than $30,000 from two separate banks and hand the money to someone she was told was a private investigator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schauf later filed police reports after realizing that she fell victim to a bank impersonation scam. Investigators say that she is one of at least five people who reported a similar fraudulent scheme in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schauf says that what happened is a traumatic experience. Recovering the money lost would be difficult unless the suspects are identified and caught.\u00a0<\/span>She says she is sharing her experience to warn people of the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNothing like this has ever happened to me\u2026People need to be aware that this is the real deal. It is out there, and they are actively doing things.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
