A California cab driver knew something sounded fishy when his elderly passenger said she needed a ride to the bank to withdraw $25,000.



Rajbir Singh picked up a 92-year-old woman in Roseville, California, two weeks ago. When he started chatting with her, Singh said she told him she was about to withdraw the money to settle a debt with the IRS. He pleaded with the woman to reconsider, saying he thought this could be a scam. Singh even detoured to a police station to help convince his passenger not to withdraw her money. As Singh talked to the woman, she told him that someone had called her and asked for the money. When he asked if it was a family member, the woman grew silent. Singh said the woman agreed to let him call the number to the person who was posing as an IRS employee.

"We called this number again and I asked the man, 'Do you know this lady?' He said no," Singh said. "I knew something was wrong."

When Singh pressed the man, saying the woman was 92 years old and she was nervous, the man hung up on him. After repeated calls back, Singh said the number blocked them. Despite that, Singh said the woman still didn't believe him, so he came up with another idea. Raj pleaded with the woman to reconsider so they agreed to stop by the Roseville Police Station to ask an officer, the police department said in a post on Facebook. Singh spoke with an officer in the station, who then spoke with the woman, police said. The conversation with the officer worked, and the woman believed she was being scammed.
