The Marshfield Police Department is investigating a fraud case.

The scam is a familiar one. A woman reported she lost $400. She thought she was emailing an Amazon gift card to a family member. However, the recipient was actually a scammer and they immediately used the card.

Scammers frequently request gift cards because they are virtually untraceable. The scammers then convert the gift cards to bitcoin or cash.
