Description
Individuals approached me claiming to be with state of IL and a teacher with CPD. They told a story about a little girl who died to gun violence and how they were raising funds to pay for funeral expenses. They asked for $20 and then ripped my card and phone out of my hand and charged $3000. My phone was unlocked due to Face ID and they approved the $**** charge. The charge tied back to Griffith carpentry in Waukegan IL.
