(RICHFIELD) – Sevier County Detectives are investigating a case of a stolen e-mail account involving a local user and suspects out of the country. Detectives say after stealing the account, the suspects change the password and notify those in the contact list that a person is in jail in London, England and needs money to be bailed out. The suspects then proceed to try to get financial information from those on the contact list. The original owner of the e-mail was notified by a friend who called to tell her that she’s listed as being in jail in London. Sevier County Detectives were notified immediately and began an investigation. Authorities continue to warn Internet users to be wary of scams involving the transfer of money to unknown accounts.
