Grateful for Rehoboth Police Officer

Posted

My name is John O’Donnell. I have lived in Rehoboth for 26 years. My wife & I love the town.

On June 10th, my wife was spammed on our computer, merely by calling a phone number, that popped up on the screen, that had a Microsoft looking alarm of a security breach.

She was prompted to speak with 2 different individuals, ( a fake person from our bank as well as a fake (“Federal Officer”) instructed her to deposit $20,000 into a Bitcoin machine, so as to avoid a bogus bank account withdrawal.

When she realized she was spammed, she called the Rehoboth Police.

Sargent James Casey immediately went to work, to try and recover our stolen money. Through his diligence contacting the Bitcoin representative, he called us and said he thought we would possibly get our money back.

He kept in constant touch with us, sharing his discussions with the Bitcoin rep.

On this past Saturday, July 27th, our check from Bitcoin for the full amount was in the mailbox. We both were ecstatic. My wife & I wish to show our gratitude, and for the town, to recognize Sargent James Casey, for his efforts, as well as his close communication with us throughout this stressful time.
