Thousands of dollars are being scammed from victims after they met up with someone on a dating app.
“The next day I started getting alerts from my bank – and that’s when I realized and immediately started panicking,” Coburn said.
First, the man didn’t look like photo in the dating app. But when another victim circulated a doorbell camera image of the suspect, and both Larkin and Coburn recognized him right away.“He dialed a fake number and it made this beeping noises like, oh, it’s not going through. Can I text her?” Larkin recalled. “At that point, I was getting extra suspicious. But, you know, I don’t want to confront him,” he said.“I was like, sure, no problem, see you in a few minutes.
“He’s getting away with it. There’s being no punishment and I just hope that he can be stopped,” Coburn said. Both Colburn and Larkin reported their cases to Seattle police, under case numbers 2023-16943 and 2022-274583, respectively.
