Theft

A resident of the 300 block of Ferndale lost items he purchased during an online game, due to a scam. He told police he plays the game Runescape, which requires items to be purchased in order to advance to the next level. He said he’s purchased multiple items over the course of a few years, valued at more than $200. At 1:33 p.m. Sept. 17, he received a call from someone claiming he qualified for a free cape based on his multiple purchases. The victim figured the call was legitimate based on the amount of information the caller had about him. The victim gave the caller access to his account, and when he later logged on, all of his purchases were eliminated.
