the above amount to Ron. Jennifer said Ron worked for her and Shawn with there company Cannon Excavating. Ron worked for the company for about three weeks and then quit. Jennifer mailed a payroll check to Ron for his last paycheck. Jennifer was able to contact the bank and stop the transaction of the check. Jennifer and Shawn did not write the above amount to Ron, or give him permission to use there checks.
I spoke to Ron over the phone and made the following statement.
Ron advised he had already went to the bank for a issue with his account his bank was working on the issue. Ron said he had been talking to a lady named Abby McDowell who he meet on a dating site. Ron said he gave Abby his information to his accounts. Ron said Abby was going to send him some money to help pay for his divorce and that he did not have the money to pay for the divorce. Abby was going to help him out so she could come to Oklahoma and be with him. I advised Ron that the reason I was calling was the issue with the check written with the Cannon Excavating check. Ron said he did not deposit the check and that Abby some how got his last check he deposited from Jennifer off his online banking. Ron said he was at Bank of Oklahoma were he banks on 10/13/2017 over the issue with his frozen account. the check from Cannon Excavating was deposited on 10/12/2017 at 2:50pm online. The last four of the account the check was deposited in was (6277) and Ron stated that was his old account that was closed on 10/13/2017 by the bank. Ron said he thinks he was scammed by Abby and another male posing to be with the United Nations. Ron said Abby was a nurse in the Army and had his account information and deposited the check, so she could take the money out of his account. Ron said his account was overdrawn $300.00 dollars at this time. Ron said he did not have anything to do with the Cannon Excavating check being
deposited into his account. I attempted to call the number Ron gave me for Abby and was unable to speak to anyone on the number.
Ron said he would email all the information he had for Abby and the other male that he spoke to about Abby being in the Army overseas.
This report in still under investigation.
