Ohio man says he lost $27K after a scammer came to his house — here's his warning
Robert Wise of Licking County, Ohio, is speaking out after allegedly being scammed out of $27,000 — and he's not holding back. 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 6 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) Wise, 67, shared his story with WBNS 10TV last month to help others avoid being fooled by 'no-good, scum people.' 'I want that big buy nailed and I don't care who you are. You try again, pal,' he said, pointing at the camera. 'It was not legit, it was a scam … Do not answer any text message or phone number that you do not recognize. You do not answer it. You do not respond to it.' What makes Wise's case especially alarming is that he says the accused didn't just text or call him, he came right to his front door to pick up the cash. Here's what happened. Wise says on May 9 he received a text that looked like a fraud alert from Apple. It read: "Apple pay alert. Your Apple ID was recently used at 'APPLE STORE' for 213.33 USD paid by Apple Pay. If it's not you call 1 805 236 9601, to cancel the charge." He called the number and spoke to a man who said his name was 'John Cooper' and that the charges on Wise's Apple ID totaled $27,000. 'He said I had to go and withdraw $27,000 from my bank account immediately or it was going to be drained,' said Wise. After Wise failed to deposit the funds into a Bitcoin machine, "Cooper" said he would send someone to Wise's house to collect the money in person. After the funds were handed over, Wise called the sheriff's office. He was instructed to stay in contact with "Cooper" so that he could be caught. Detectives launched a sting operation and arrested 42-year-old Liwei Zhang, who showed up again at Wise's house to collect more money. Zhang has since been indicted on theft, identity fraud and telecommunications fraud charges, reports WBNS 10TV. The sheriff's office told the news network this is the second case this year of scammers showing up in person to collect money. 'It's getting a little more dangerous,' said Col. Chris Barbuto. 'We're not just online anymore — we are face-to-face.' According to the report, Zhang told authorities he was living in the U.S. on a business visa. He also claimed he was just a middleman and had been involved in other scams. 'Based on his bank records, which we have frozen, there are likely other victims out there — we just haven't identified them yet,' said Licking County Prosecutor Jenny Wells to the news network.

Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Scams like this often start with a text that looks like it's from an organization you may expect to hear from, like Apple, Amazon, your bank, or even the IRS. The message may warn of suspicious account activity or an urgent charge and then tell you to call a number or click a link to fix the issue. From there, scammers pressure you to send money through untraceable methods like Bitcoin, gift cards, wire transfers, or, increasingly, in person. Red flags to watch out for include: Urgent language or threats ('Act now or your account will be closed.') Requests for payments in untraceable methods like cash, crypto, or gift cards Calls or texts from numbers you don't recognize Messages with grammatical errors or awkward formatting If you do receive a suspicious text, here's what you should do: Don't respond: If you get a suspicious message, don't call the number or click any links. Verify independently: If the message claims to be from your bank, Apple, or another company, contact them directly using the official website or phone number, not the one in the message. Never give remote access: No legitimate company will ask to take control of your device or request login credentials. Never pay strangers: Real companies and government agencies will never ask for payment in Bitcoin or cash pickups at your house. Report the message: Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM), report it on the messaging app you use, and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your local law enforcement agency. If you think you've been scammed, call your bank immediately to flag any suspicious activity. Then, file a police report and a fraud report with the FTC.

Ohio State Athletic Director Ross Bjork meets with media to discuss state of program
Ohio State Athletic Director Ross Bjork meets with media to discuss state of program College athletics continue to be transformed at breakneck speed. Over the last few years, we've seen conferences re-align, Name, Image and Likeness become prevalent and extremely meaningful, the transfer portal turn college athletics into free-agency, and now, we have direct revenue sharing taking center stage after the approval of the House Settlement. With all of that going on, and with the recent news that will again change things, Ohio State Athletic Director Director Ross Bjork took some time to meet with the media to give a state of college athletics, what it means for Ohio State, and provide some direction of the program given the size and impact of such a massive athletic department. He also took time to field some questions from the media that made their way to the banks of the Olentangy. It was a long and wide-ranging press conference, but we felt it necessary to provide the full video and audio of Bjork's time at the podium on Thursday to give you the full scale of all of his comments. Watch and listen to Bjork discuss things like the House Settlement, how revenue sharing will be funded, expanding the College Football Playoff, the status of night games, and much more. Thanks to WBNS 10TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus for the video. This won't be the last time we hear from Bjork with the everchanging landscape of college athletics. Ohio State had a really good AD with Gene Smith prior to Bjork's arrival, and so far the newest AD seems to know what he's doing and is ready to also knock it out of the park.
