Got the following off the ST interactive :
--------------------------------------------------
$55K LOST IN PHONE SCAM A TELEPHONE scammer conned a woman out of $55,000 last week.
The victim in her late 30s received a call from a woman claiming to be a courts officer on Dec 4.
The caller said the victim was involved in a money laundering case and had to appear in court unless money was transferred to two bank accounts.
The con woman said she would visit the victim with documents to close her case after the transfers were made. The victim made the transfers totalling $55,000 on Dec 6, but the trickster did not turn up afterwards.
