Friday, August 30, 2024 12:37AMActress Tamlyn Tomita and her husband Daniel Blinkoff are working to build their dream, a theater in Los Angeles where they hope to put on performances that can be livestreamed to audiences around the world.
Tamlyn has appeared in a number of recognizable films and TV projects, including "Karate Kid 2" and "The Joy Luck Club." Investigators say this is an all-too-common scam. Crooks will send you an email that looks right but there will be a small change in the sender's address or link you might not notice.
Last year, the FBI received more than 21,000 complaints about similar scams from people just living in the Los Angeles area. The total loss for those victims was nearly $3 billion. When Blinkoff saw the email it appeared to be legitimately from his contractor so he didn't think twice when he used the information to send money to pay for the construction work.The FBI says these attackers are often from out of the country. So when the money is sent, it is very difficult to get it back. They often search through social media for information about their victims.
