A scammer masquerading as JPMorgan Chase and PayPal allegedly managed to drain a total of $30,000 from victims’ bank accounts before the scheme unraveled.

The victims say they received emails that appeared to be from PayPal, warning them about a large and potentially unauthorized Bitcoin purchase, reports CBS 12.

When calling the number provided in the emails, the victims say they were connected to someone claiming to work at Chase’s fraud department, who said they faced arrest for money laundering.

They were then transferred to a fake FBI agent who instructed them to withdraw cash totaling $18,000 from the first victim and $12,000 from the second – and hand it to a man who would come over and visit them at their homes in Florida.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says Wilkens Eugene was arrested after the second victim was contacted a second time and instructed to hand more money over.

“The affidavit continues that she was contacted again, and this time asked to remove $60,000. It was at this time that the second victim believed she was being scammed.”

At that point, authorities say they worked with the second victim to arrest the suspect.
