SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls woman lost $2,000 after signing up online for a babysitting job.
Officer Sam Clemens says the scammers sent the 18-year-old a check that they asked her to cash and send the money back.
Clemens says the woman wondered why they couldn't cash the check themselves but went to her bank and got the cash. She wired the money as directed and then the bank contacted her to let her know the check was a phoney.
Clemens says the victim took the money out of her account.
