Clarksville Police Department warns residents about ongoing phone, text, and email scams
Clarksville Now
CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Clarksville Police Department is reminding residents to remain vigilant after a local resident recently lost more than $137,000 to an elaborate scam.
The victim received a text message that appeared to come from her bank asking her to verify a transaction. After responding, she received a phone call from someone claiming to be a bank representative. The caller then transferred her to another individual who identified himself as a federal agent.
The scammers convinced the victim that criminals were actively using her identity and that her money was at risk. They instructed her to withdraw money from multiple bank locations and transfer the funds into what they called “secure accounts.” Believing she was protecting her finances, the victim withdrew and transferred more than $137,000 before realizing she had been scammed.
