A North Dakota woman believed Taylor Swift was going to give her a new truck — here's her warning for others
West Fargo resident Mary Pickarell was thrilled to get a text that appeared to be from Travis Kelce's mother, Donna — known to cheer on her football star son alongside his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The text said Pickarell had won a special Mother's Day prize: a personal visit from Swift herself and a brand-new pickup truck courtesy of the pop sensation. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) As the local media outlet Valley News Live reports, Pickarell was told all she needed to do to arrange delivery of the pickup was pay a $100 fee via a Walmart gift card, which she promptly did. Pickarell couldn't believe her luck. Turns out she shouldn't have believed it. Neither Swift nor the truck ever arrived. 'I went into tears,' Pickarell said. 'No part of me thought it sounded off. I was just anxious to meet Taylor Swift in person.' Pickarell discovered she'd been the victim of a cruel scam after calling the Valley News Live team. They advised her to contact the police. While Pickarell did just that, it was too late to get her $100 back — a concern given that she's on disability with limited income. 'I want to let everyone know there are scammers out there and they will get older people,' Pickarell advised. 'Don't believe anything unless you talk to your family, friends, police, even the news.'

According to the Federal Trade Commission, victims lost $2.95 billion to imposter scams in 2024. Such scams take different forms, including criminals pretending to be from the government, family members in trouble or celebrities like Swift. The con artists use high-pressure tactics and may even manipulate people's fear, demanding sensitive information or unusual payment methods — like gift cards, as Pickarall was asked to provide. In recent years, the rise of AI has led to an increase in celebrity scams. The AARP reports that criminals have gotten much more sophisticated than just sending fake texts like the one Pickarell received. They're now making convincing deep-fake videos appearing as someone famous to get people to part with their funds. Celebrity scam scenarios include: Romance scams where victims are convinced they're in a relationship with a celebrity who then begins to ask for money. Merchandise, investment or crypto scams that use fake celebrity endorsements. Fake prizes, like the Taylor Swift pickup truck scam that ensnared Pickarell. One recent example of how AI has been used in this way involves a woman who paid $160K to a fake Keanu Reeves after she saw a video and, convinced it was the actor, fell for a romance scam. In May, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a warning about such scams. "While it may be disappointing to hear, you are probably not in a secret, long-distance relationship with Garth Brooks,' she said. 'If someone claiming to be Garth or any other famous figure is asking you personally for money, don't send it. It's almost certainly a scam.' The FTC advises searching for the celebrity's name and the product or charity they appear to be endorsing online along with the word "scam.' If you do fall for a scam and send money to a con artist, the FTC advises calling the police and the financial services firm or gift-card company you used for the transaction to report the fraud and request help recovering your funds. When you report the incident to authorities, you can help with investigations that will help prevent others from being blinded — and blindsided — by star-power scams.

Waukesha child abandonment case; parents charged, wanted
The Brief Two children were found "in a completely wild, unkept state" at a Waukesha apartment that was "a complete and total mess." The parents are now charged with child abandonment, and a warrant was issued for their arrest. WARNING: Details of this story may be disturbing to some readers. WAUKESHA, Wis. - Waukesha County prosecutors said two children were found naked "in a completely wild, unkept state" at an apartment that was "a complete and total mess." Now, the parents are charged with child abandonment. In Court Court records warrants were issued for the arrests of 31-year-old Jessica Borkert and 36-year-old James Domoracki after they failed to appear in court on Thursday. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android What they're saying Waukesha police were called to a multi-level apartment on Jan. 9. A criminal complaint states the kids, ages 2 and 4 at the time, were found screaming and crying. Prosecutors said Borkert and Domoracki left their children with a grandmother, who has mobility issues. The grandmother said she tried to stay on top of things but could not travel up and down stairs, did not have a vehicle and could not go anywhere to get food, supplies or medicine and was unable to take the children out of the residence. Court filings described the apartment as "a complete and total mess." The front door could not fully open because there was "junk everywhere." One of the children slept on a bare mattress "with stains and cockroaches." The apartment was "cluttered with toys, bags of garbage, clothes and blankets." The walls were "covered in dirt, dust, and other unknown substances." Both children are nonverbal and were "in a completely wild, unkept state," per the complaint. One of the children had bruises, scratches and dirt "all over him." The child also had matted hair and smelled of urine. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Dig deeper Court filings said the grandmother told investigators that she lived with Borkert, Domoracki and the children until the parents left roughly two months earlier and did not come back. A detective spoke to Borkert days after the children were found. The complaint states she said she had gotten work in the Grafton area, which was "too far to come back to Waukesha." She said she and Domoracki had been staying at an Oak Creek motel, which court filings said appeared to be further away from Grafton than Waukesha. Prosecutors said detectives questioned Borkert on how the parents were supporting the grandmother while they were gone, during which she was "evasive." Domoracki said he would try to send food and diapers "via Walmart shopping" but he "ran out of money." Detectives reviewed the parents' shared cellphone, per the complaint, which found the "majority of text conversations" were indicative of "active participation in narcotics use and trade."
