Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A rural Rochester woman is out of some money in what authorities say was an unusual scam.
The woman reported the incident to the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office Monday.
She said she spotted a car for sale on Craigslist that caught her attention because it was a 2009 Toyota Corolla model that was being offered for $1,000. The seller said she needed to get rid of the car because her husband had died and she was being sent overseas on an Army deployment.
The woman agreed to give the seller the codes from e-Bay gift cards she was told to buy.

(ABC 6 News) On January 29, Olmsted County Sheriff s Office investigators were in the process of attempting to interview the 50-year-old suspect from St. Charles and solidify their probable cause to arrest him.
During that time, investigators learned he had been located in a vehicle, near Interstate 90 in Winona County, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
That gunshot wound took the life of the man.
The Olmsted County Sheriff s Office said the investigation into the January 28 assault has determined that the victim was intoxicated and asked to leave the bar near where he was found.
They said the victim was outside when a verbal altercation could be heard between the suspect and the victim, but investigators were unable to determine whether the suspect pushed or struck the victim.
