WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — Police say a woman who answered a scammer’s ad to pick up and ship a computer that was illegally purchased has been charged with stealing the laptop and sending off magazines, instead.
In March, police in Wolfeboro were contacted by a business owner whose account was hacked from outside the United States to buy a computer.
WMUR-TV reports police said 51-year-old Jennifer Wozmak answered an online “job” to ship the computer overseas. But they said she didn’t send the laptop, just magazines. She sold the computer to someone else.
She’s been charged with theft. Wolfeboro Police Chief Dean Rondeau says she had no affiliation with the original scammer, other than the advertisement.
It wasn’t immediately known if Wozmak had an attorney, and a possible number rang unanswered.
