Two people from Girard have been scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars, State Police said.

A man and a woman, both in their 80s, said they got a call from a woman claiming to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The caller told them their bank account had been hacked, and they needed to pay approximately $6 thousand to the FBI to get their money back.

The victims later discovered that $44,500 had been transferred out of their account.

Law enforcement will never ask for payment of any kind, police said.

The investigation is ongoing.
