State Police in Punxsutawney are currently investigating an incident where a Timblin man was scammed out of $200.
Police say the scam was reported on March 19 in Ringgold Township of Jefferson County.
Troopers say the scammer contacted the victim, a 69-year-old Timblin man via Facebook messenger, said he was eligible for $70,000 and asked for his personal info.
Police say the scammer then told the victim to pay a Tax Clearance Fee of $200 using STEAM gift cards. The scammer told the victim to send a picture of the code on the back of the cards and that he would receive his earnings within 48 hours. The victim did not receive the $70,000.
The investigation is ongoing.
