TikTok Lover Led 60-Year-Old to Fake Check Scam | Pittsburgh News
Description
A 60-year-old woman in Washington County is facing theft by deception charges after cashing a $20,000 fake check she received through the mail — a scam orchestrated by a TikTok “love interest” who promised her a cut of the cash. Though she suspected it was a setup, she deposited it at a bank in McMurray, which quickly froze the account. The business that issued the check noticed something was off, and authorities confirmed her involvement. The scammer remains uncharged — a chilling reminder that romance scams can strike anyone, no matter the age or experience.
