LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A Raymond woman was scammed out of $30,000 after filling out a fraudulent loan forgiveness application.

Lincoln Police officers took a report on Wednesday of a fraud that happened during August.

The victim, a 58-year-old woman, reported she was asked to fill out a loan forgiveness application that was fraudulent.

The victim received an email she believed was from the Small Business Administration stating she might be eligible for a business loan forgiveness. After filling out the form with personal information, she was asked to pay $15,000 for each loan via money transfer, for a total loss of $30,000.

LPD said the victim realized it was a scam when the loans came due and the money she’d already paid hadn’t been applied to them.

The investigation is ongoing.
