A Montco woman thought Trea Turner was asking her for money. Instead, an online scammer stole $50K from her, police say.

To her surprise, she then got a message from Turner inviting her to message him one-on-one on Google Chat. She did so, she said in an interview Friday, and was soon inundated with requests from him for money to help him buy property in Michigan because his wife had limited his access to his own bank accounts.As they talked, she said Turner showered her with compliments, telling her how beautiful she was and eventually told her he loved her.but rather, an online imposter.

“But it was a low period in my life, and I was down in the dumps,” she added. “I thought ‘Oh wow, this is very cool.’”The scammer posing as Turner sent her pictures of himself and his wife, Kristen, including a candid shot from the delivery room after the birth of their second son, Tatum. She also received photos of a credit card and ID bearing Turner’s name and likeness, as well as a custom, all-access pass to Citizen’s Bank Park in her name.

Towamencin Township Police Lt. Geoffrey Wainwright said Friday that the woman contacted police in November, and that the investigation into this scam, and who is responsible, is ongoing.
