A man was arrested Thursday for allegedly acting as a courier in a cash scam targeting Windsor residents.
Investigators said scammers posed as federal officials, telling victims their bank accounts were compromised and instructing them to withdraw cash for collection. Sonoma County Sheriff’s detectives set up a sting and arrested 56-year-old Zhengning Chen of Oakland when he arrived to pick up money from a victim.
Chen was booked on 250-thousand-dollars bail and remained in custody Friday. He is scheduled for his first court appearance Tuesday.
Authorities have not disclosed how many people were involved or the total amount stolen.
