The scammers used Richard Overton’s account to purchase savings bonds without his knowledge. This was stated by his cousin Wolma Overton Jr.
This happened 27 Jun. The fraudsters used a social security number and a bank account to withdraw money. What amount in question is unknown, but the cousin claims a very large amount of money.
USA Today suggests that we are talking about $ 300 000, which were transferred as part of the 2015 campaign of the year to Overton Sr., a veteran of World War II, who was in Pearl Harbor right after the Japanese attack.
Overton was born near Austin, Texas, in 1906. During World War II, Overton served as a marksman in a separate unit while in Pearl Harbor and Okinawa. From 1940 to 1945, he served in the South Pacific in military units in Hawaii, Guam and Iwo Jima.
He currently resides in East Austin, where he moved to the 1940s.
Research team Gerontology Considers Overtona as the oldest living American.
He smokes a dozen (12 pieces) cigars per day. He likes whiskey, and he wakes up after a few cups of coffee, the newspaper said.
His secret of longevity: "Just continue to live, do not die."
