Believing she had contacted Microsoft, the victim was falsely informed that her checking account was being targeted by hackers. She was instructed to withdraw funds to protect her account, which the suspect then collected from her home. Following a second successful scam attempt, the suspect obtained additional money directly from the victim’s residence. The police emphasize that the perpetrator is not affiliated with Microsoft.
