State police are investigating a scam that tricked a Westmoreland man out of almost $20,000.
On Thursday night, an 80-year-old Greensburg man got a phone call from an alleged family member claiming to be in jail. The family member said an attorney would be calling to set up bail arrangements.
A person called and asked for $19,000 in cash, and said a courier would come to pick it up, state police said. A male driving a gray, four-door vehicle came to the home and took the cash, driving toward Youngwood Borough.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 724-832-3288.
