When a 93-year-old Georgia resident was conned into mailing his life’s savings to a scammer in California, a deputy pulled out all the stops to retrieve the parcel from FedEx mid-transit. The deputy’s sterling efforts saved the elderly victim thousands of dollars.

The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office told The Epoch Times that the World War II veteran, who remains anonymous, called them on July 8 to ask for help after the strange encounter. The veteran was duped into mailing $14,000 in bills to an unfamiliar address 2,400 miles away.
