Dunwoody Police Looking For Scammer
Youth is suspected of buying and selling items through Facebook recently and then running away from the deal.
Dunwoody Police are looking for a suspect who has been making contacts on Facebook to scam buyers and sellers of items around town.
The suspect is said to meet with buyers, insists on payment if he is selling something, and then says he will "be right back" with the item - then never returns.
Dunwoody Police reported a similar incident when a 16-year old was looking to sell his Playstation via social media. The buyer wanted to test it out, ran off in an apartmen complex and never returned with the game system.
The suspect is suspected to be 16 to 18 years old, goes by "Calio Cash," and weighs between 140 and 150 pounds, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call Dunwoody Det. R. Bentivegna at 678-382-6911 or at robert.bentivegna@dunwoodyga.gov. People can also submit anonymous tips at www.dunwoodypolice.com.
Crimestoppers Atlanta is offering a reward of $2,000 in the case and has an informational flyer on the suspect.
