VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A man from North Carolina, aged 56, is facing legal charges after allegedly defrauding a woman in Volusia County out of $30,000, as reported by Sheriff Mike Chitwood.
According to the sheriff’s post on social media, a 70-year-old woman from Volusia County parted with $60,000, including $30,000 in cash, as a result of replying to an email about an injured military dog.
Authorities revealed that Cory Ray Woodall of Oxford, North Carolina, persuaded the woman into believing she was aiding a retired Army general to return to the United States.
Woodall then is accused of using they money to purchase car, a mower and a trailer.
The social media post proclaimed, “We not only caught another con artist, but we also brought him back to confront the victim he deceived out of $30,000.” In an attached video, the woman and Sheriff Chitwood are seen confronting the man inside a vehicle.
“How many other people did you spend their money?” the woman asks Woodall.
Officials did not state what happened to the remaining $30,000, but at one point in the video, Chitwood asks where the Bitcoin was transferred to.
Another Internet scammer is welcomed into the criminal justice system by @SheriffChitwood:
