Couple caught in scam

A Renton couple got entangled in a money scam and contacted police on Nov. 14.

A 75-year-old received a money order with his name on it. A short time later, the man got a phone call from a person demanding he cash the money order and send it to him.

The 75-year-old, suspecting it was a scam, decided to cash the money order and keep it. When he didn’t send it to the caller, the caller threatened to kill his 67-year-old wife.

The man contacted police and police also witnessed the harassing phone calls the man was receiving. Police traced the money scam to an elderly man in Salem, Ill., who had been instructed to send money orders to people all over the country.
