Because of the quick reporting and the fast response by these detectives, the would-be victim in this case still has her $6,500. Great job all! Please spread the word about these types of scams, especially to people who might be vulnerable.

VSO detectives were notified of the scam before any money was paid, and set up outside the victim's house. Eventually, a Lyft driver (who was unaware of the scam) arrived to pick up the envelope, but detectives were there to meet him.
