00:00story that leads you to hand over a large sum of money. Well, I'm your Orange County Community
00:04Correspondent Troy Campbell and that's what investigators say happened at this Apopka Walmart
00:09and now they're looking to find that individual. Be aware of all of your surroundings. Be aware
00:13of who you talk to. Somebody like that shouldn't be able to get away with doing something like that.
00:18Shoppers outside this Walmart along the 1700 block of South Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka
00:24saying they're cautious about who they speak to when approached by a stranger.
00:28Well, first you can't talk to everybody, especially around the holidays. Like it's just
00:32not safe. I mean, quick conversations. You shouldn't be sharing religious belief,
00:36sharing anything personal. Apopka police have released these surveillance images
00:40of a man they say scanned someone out of money outside of the Walmart. Investigators say the
00:45man approached the victim and told them he had recently inherited a large sum of money
00:50and wanted to donate to charity while gaining the victim's trust by discussing shared religious
00:56beliefs. I just bought something from a religious organization over there and I would like to help
01:02them. But if you have somebody like this, it's kind of hard to know who to trust. Police say
01:08a second individual briefly showed up to legitimize the suspect's story. Ultimately, they say the
01:14suspect got away with, quote, a large sum of money. That makes me feel sick. Yeah, that makes me feel
01:20sick.
01:21And hoping they can maybe get it back somehow. I hope so. Scammers get you on the phone,
01:25they get you on the computer, but then now they're also in person. Yeah. No, the scamming
01:29thing is getting out of control. Like you can't even trust nothing. Shoppers say others should be
01:33aware as well. They need to put pictures up inside of Walmart. They need to alert the shoppers because
01:38I would not just see that person and be like, oh, money, that's the person. In case he were to
01:42return
01:43here. Exactly. So they need to put something out. What's your advice to anybody who recognizes the man
01:47in these images that they're looking for? I say tournament. Um, you know, those people deserve
01:52justice. And again, Apopka police say anyone who recognizes that man is asked to call Apopka police
01:58or crime stoppers. I'm.
