Port Washington Police Report: Girlfriend Gives Boyfriend's Account Number to Scam Collection Agency

A 26-year-old Whitefish Bay woman reported a money scam at 2 p.m. Feb. 28 after she gave her boyfriend's debit card number to a caller from a "collection agency" regarding credit card debt.

The alleged collection agency called the woman's cell phone while she was visiting her dad in his Port Washington home.

The money withdrawal was found to be a scam, and the bank credited the money, so that there was no loss.
