During the call, she became suspicious and called her bank, Navy Federal Credit Union, on another line. Her suspicions were correct — she was scammed and it was too late, the money was gone.Commerce City woman responsible for repaying bank loan fraudulently taken out in her name Pearson said the loan was already taken out in her name before the scammers called.
