GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. - A Florida woman is facing fraud and conspiracy charges after allegedly getting caught in a scam connected to a Michigan business and Nigerian man.
WPBN reports Sylvia Williams, 80, was arrested after scamming a Grand Traverse County business out of more than $4,000.
Investigators said a scammer called an Acme Township cleaning company, saying they were moving to the area and wanted to pay for cleaning services in advance.
The scammer sent a check for $4,900, requesting they return a check for $4,300 to an address in Columbia County, Florida.
Investigators tracked it down and found Williams at her home in Florida. She was arrested and charged with conspiracy and fraud.
“The female down in Florida had a relationship with the Nigerian and this relationship has gone on for several years and she trust this person and because there was that trust this lady would do anything for them, even if it involves fraudulent activities,” Lt. Chris Barsheff with the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office told WPBN.

Nigerian Prince Commits Suicide After Being Rejected While Trying to Give Away His Fortune
To marry a Nigerian Prince.
Grand Traverse is beautiful. VP Pence came here (it’s just down the road) to campaign for Trump. He was really funny...talked about wanting to use a stick to turn on the television.
I thought the Nigerian prince died ... without resolution of his vast fortune.
You’re never too old...
At least not for Laz.
How long has this been going on Laz?
