(NORFOLK, NE) -- The Norfolk Police Department says it has recovered five-thousand dollars for a 92-year-old woman targeted in a scam.
Police say scammers told the woman her son had been jailed and convinced her to ship cash for his release. She sent five-thousand dollars in cash rolled inside a magazine via overnight express to an address in Miami.
Investigators used tracking information and worked with FedEx to intercept the package just before its flight took off.
