According to police, ads were found in free Hispanic newspapers, radio ads on local Hispanic radio stations and laundromats and stores in the Golden Gate and East Naples area. The media ads were published in December 2020 leading to the in-person scam beginning mid-January 2021.
Victims describe the subject as possibly Hispanic or Eastern European, speaking Spanish with an unknown accent or dialect, approximately 5’2”, medium build, with blonde hair with dark roots, and light brown eyes.
