A MOM recalled how $7,000 was wiped from her account – hours after being told she was a witness in a federal case.

Naomi Bloom, from Iowa, claimed she faced consequences if she didn’t appear.

But, in July 2023, she was the victim of a scam that saw fraudsters purporting to be cops from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, per the ABC affiliate WOI-DT.

Bloom, a social worker, said she received a call that informed her she had been subpoenaed.

She revealed that she had been called up as an expert before, so didn’t suspect anything out of the ordinary.

Bloom claimed the scammers demanded her to withdraw money before they started to threaten her children.

She was ordered to go to an ATM and withdraw $5,100, before taking out $1,500 from another location, per the CBS affiliate KCCI.

Bloom claimed the fraudsters knew information about her job as well as personal details.

She wired the money through a Bitcoin ATM and it turned out the money was sent abroad.

Cops revealed there was no way they could recover the missing money.

Bloom was left devastated and slammed the bank as she believed the transactions could’ve been halted.

“I’ve worked hard. And this has devastated us,” she said.

The money disappeared within hours and Bloom revealed some of it was from her daughter’s college savings.

Scammers are known for using artificial intelligence to spoof their voices.

“We’ve seen AI voice cloning scams increase over the past year as well, which is a very scary topic.” Mike Scheumack, of Identity IQ, told Fox Business in September.

“The scary thing is, is that this is not your next-door neighbor doing this… This is a sophisticated organization.”

He said scammers want to create a sense of urgency.

Scheumack warned fraudsters may use phrases such as “I can’t talk right now,” as they repeat their demands for money or personal details.

Chase is among the banking giants that have warned customers about scams involving artificial intelligence.

Users should be suspicious of urgent requests for cash and end the call if they have any doubts.

The U.S. Sun has approached the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
