A woman told police a black female scammed her by attempting to rent a residence on Julian Road to her that she didn’t own or manage. The woman gave her $2,200 in cash before realizing it was a scam. She said she got a strange vibe from the suspect and called the real estate company that manages the property and they informed her that they didn’t have a woman by her name listed for the property. The suspect has since blocked her and will not return phone calls. The suspect drives a white sedan. While there, a man and woman arrived and also confirmed the suspect was the lady involved and that she also attempted to scam them into renting the place as well. Fortunately, neither one gave the suspect any money. A photo of the suspect’s Facebook page that was used during the scam was attached to the report. The case was forwarded to the Fraud Division.

A man on Gunbarrel Road told police around 4 a.m. he received a notice on his phone that there was an illegal online charge for $161.86 on his Sofi Bank debit card account at a website called Capital AKA & Jinni. Also, there was a conversion of money from euros to dollars, so it must have been done overseas. The charge is still pending and he contacted Sofi which told him they can't reverse the charge, but he's not sure why and that didn't make sense to him. There were two other attempted charges on his card account for $299 and $296, but those were blocked by Sofi as scam attempts. He remembered that about a month ago, he had accidentally left his card at a drive-thru window and then got it back the next day. He's not sure if it's related but it's the only place his card was out of his sight.
