    Fraud: Royalton Road

    On Oct. 19, a Royalton Road resident called police after discovering
    he was the victim of fraud.

    The man said that the day before, he had received a supposed call from
    his bank investigating a fraudulent $2,500 charge to his account.

    The caller convinced the Broadview Heights resident to set up a Zelle
    account and send $1,000 in order to get back his $2,500. The man
    followed instructions.
