The victim said several individuals were involved in the hoax and he was instructed to take all the cash out of his current bank account and go to a Bit Coin machine and transfer the money using a barcode they provided. He did as he was instructed because the numbers being used were “spoofed” to look like the Oxford Police Department and seemed legitimate.
He also gave one of the callers the last four digits of his Social Security number. He lost $350 in the scam.
