The Bastrop County Sheriff's Office recieved a report regarding a fradulent purchase of lumber using a stolen credit card number and fake identification card. The order was made over the phone and the scammer sent a photo of a fake ID and fake credit card displaying the stolen credit card number. The lumber was ordered to be delivered to an address in Bastrop County. After the investigation it was discovered that the person receiving the order thought they were purchasing the lumber off Facebook Marketplace and then sent money to another party. The party receiving the money being an online donation station, then sent the money to a person, whom he believed to be associated with a Haitian Church currently operating out of the Dominican Republic. In this case the sale was for Lumber, however, they could be targeting any type of items for Sale. Remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
