BUFFALO, N.Y. — A cooperative effort between the Erie County Sheriff's Office and US Post Office has saved someone from losing $8,500 to scammers.
Deputies say they got a call last week about someone who sent cash to a New Jersey address to post bail for their grandson. Detectives were able to obtain the post office tracking number and contacted postal inspectors.
The package was tracked to a New Jersey post office where it was secured and returned to the victim.
