State police say 24-year-old Srinivas Rasala of North Brunswick NJ was charged with a felony count of theft by unlawful taking following a busted scam.
An unnamed woman from Homer City said she noticed a higher-than-usual charge on her utility bill and unknowingly accessed a fraudulent website. During the incident, the representative told her that a payment of $29,700 was erroneously deposited into her account and that she would need to withdraw that and give it to a courier who would arrive at her house. She alerted troopers and they arrested the driver, later identified as Rasala who was arraigned and taken to Indiana County Jail.
He was denied bail, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 28th.
