The Windermere Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying a female suspect involved in a sophisticated impersonation scam that targeted a local resident. The incident occurred on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, in Windermere, Florida. According to police reports, the victim, an 82-year-old woman, was contacted by individuals posing as Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. These callers convinced the victim that she was under investigation for bank fraud, utilizing fear and the appearance of authority to manipulate her. As part of the scheme, the scammers arranged for a woman, posing as an FBI courier, to collect cash from the victim's home. The courier arrived at the residence in a silver Toyota and departed with a shoebox containing $18,400. The suspect's identity remains unknown, and the vehicle used in the crime is a key piece of evidence. Windermere Police Chief David Ogden emphasized the predatory nature of these crimes, urging residents to discuss such scams with their loved ones. He advised that anyone approached by someone claiming to represent law enforcement who requests money to be handed to a courier should immediately stop and contact local authorities. The investigation is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information regarding the identity of the woman or details about the silver Toyota to come forward. Residents with tips are asked to contact Sergeant John Allen directly at (407) 909-5306 or via email at the address provided in the official news release. The department continues to appeal for community cooperation to help identify the suspect and recover the stolen funds.
