Con Man Bilks Couple Out of 2200 in Old Scam
A retired Carbondale couple lost 2200 in an old con game after a caller posed as a detective auditing a local bank. A man with a badge arrived, took the money, and the scheme aimed to trace the thief via marked bills. Glen Storme said deposits are insured and warned customers to verify officers. Police noted three SIU students were later charged with shoplifting unrelated items at a local store.
