Laramie police say a Cheyenne coin shop helped stop an elderly woman from being scammed out of more than $450,000 worth of gold, but not before an organized fraud ring had already stolen more than $130,000 from her.
The owner at The Coin Shop in downtown Cheyenne noticed something suspicious when the woman tried to buy more than $450,000 worth of gold shortly after she had already bought $130,000 worth of 1-ounce gold bars, Laramie Police Department Detective Carson Schilt reports.
