A home mortgage scam landed one Manhattan man with a significant loss.
Veryl Switzer (80) was the victim of a mortgage scam that began on December 1st of last year and ended on the 1st of this month. The suspect claimed they were from Bank of America and sent him various mortgage payments, claiming he owed money and his house was pending foreclosure if he didn’t pay.
Switzer reported to Riley County police Tuesday, that he had been scammed out of $110,000.
Police are investigating this as a theft and encourage people to look into these types of payment requests to make sure they are real. False headers and misspelled words are good signs of fraud.
