He said that the resident had failed to appear to serve on a grand jury and texted over two photos showing that the resident had been assigned to serve on a jury. He told her to take out $15,000 from her bank and send the money. When she was at Watertown Savings Bank the teller asked why the resident needed to take out such a large amount of money. She was still on the phone with the caller. The teller told the resident that she was being scammed. The incident was handled by Officer Leah Keleman.
Kudos to the Watertown Savings’ teller. Well done!
Just another example of what a great bank WSB is. Their customer service is always outstanding.
Can the name of the teller be released? I have two at the main branch in my mind who I think it might be because they are always on the ball!
Why? No, it shouldn’t.
The teller just stopped a criminal from getting away with it. He or she must be kept anonymous and safe as crooks can be vengeful.
