Scammers posing as Wells Fargo and FBI officials have drained $20,000 from a 75-year-old Texas woman through a phone scheme.<\/p>\n

Police say callers convinced the victim to send the money to fix supposed problems with her bank account, reports<\/a> Coconut Creek Talk.<\/p>\n

She obtained a $20,000 cashier\u2019s check and deposited it into a Wells Fargo account at a Kerrville, Texas branch.<\/p>\n

An investigation led to the arrest of 23-year-old Ariana Theresa Johnson of Coconut Creek, Florida. She faces organized fraud against a person 65 or older, grand theft from a person 65 or older and money laundering charges.<\/p>\n

Kerr County Sheriff\u2019s investigators traced the receiving account to Johnson and another person who shared a Coconut Creek address and forwarded the case to Coconut Creek Police.<\/p>\n

Johnson later confirmed she shared the Wells Fargo account with her mother and that the $20,000 entered the account on May 15th.<\/p>\n

Bank records show the funds left through multiple electronic and in-person withdrawals in the days that followed.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Johnson at her workplace on September 5th.<\/p>\n

She allegedly admitted taking part in the scheme and claimed she acted at the request of a person known as Spizz.<\/p>\n

Johnson did not identify that person and was booked into the Broward County Main Jail.<\/p>\n
