The suspected con artist also used the name of a Chicago charitable organization.
For more than a year, a con artist has been using the name of a famous rapper from Chicago and the name of a popular charitable organization to scam people out of tens of thousands of dollars in cash.Those victims are the Cole sisters. The CBS 2 Investigators first told you their story inIt all began when Lulu Cole was approached outside her bank on 83rd Street in January 2022 by a man who called himself Jeffrey Washington.
Cole received payment confirmations from her cell phone company and her bank that the payments had posted. She said:"I couldn't believe it. I felt ecstatic." She then told her sister about the man and his generosity. Ibi Cole was skeptical at first – but then allowed the man to pay off a few of her bills.
Confirmations came in immediately from financial institutions that payments had posted and statements showed balances had dropped. The man convinced the sisters to hand over cash donations to him, as a way to pay the charitable work forward.It took only a few days to fall for the man's con, until the reversal notices rolled in and balances ballooned back to normal. But the sisters have been waiting nearly a year for an arrest. That finally came Tuesday.The arrest came in part, due to a photo snapped by Lulu the day she first met the stranger in her bank's parking lot.
