Troy – A 58-year-old Troy woman has apparently been fleeced for $703,000 she voluntarily wired to a man who said he was in financial trouble in England.
The woman said she “met” the man – who identified himself as Danny Koch – on Match.com, a computer dating site, about a year ago, according to Troy Police Capt. Robert Redmond.
“You can’t make this stuff up,” said Redmond. “It’s another warning that supports why we and others always tell citizens to be careful when dealing with anyone who asks you for money on the internet.”
The woman, who was not identified by Redmond, came into the police station on March 18 to say employees at the Bank of America told her she should contact police.
