ARCHER, Idaho (KIFI) — It’s a warning for all of us on social media. An eastern Idaho rancher says scammers stole his identity — and it cost his friends and customers.
Hagen Erickson owns Diamond E Quarter Horses, and while he was out of cell service, scammers were busy stealing his online identity — and using it to target those closest to him.
“So far, I think there’s probably been about $5000, if not a little more money, that’s been sent to this person that hacked my account,” said Erickson. “Years of networking down the drain.”
Watch the full story on how it happened above. Thursday night at 6 PM, Local News 8 looks into what local law enforcement and the FBI are doing to fight back.
