I The woman was approached last Friday by two people in the mart store at 5400 S. Cedar said Detective Tom Wilson of the Lansing fraud unit. A man-and-woman team told the victim that they were settling the estate of a dead relative and showed her a large sum of money.

She was asked to add some money to their money and to hold all of the cash for them until they concluded other business. The woman was promised $200 for every $100 of her money added to the amount. Wilson said the woman told police that she withdrew a large amount of money from her credit union and gave it to the scam team. The subjects put the money in a paper sack. They then gave a sack to the woman.

When they didn't return, the woman went to the trunk of her car where the money was stashed only to discover paper instead of the cash.
