A 22-year-old man has been arrested after detectives say he scammed an elderly person out of more than $20,000 in a bank fraud scheme in Deerfield Beach.

Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deerfield Beach District said they began investigating after receiving a tip from the South Florida Fraud Task Force and the FBI.

Investigators said the victim received a call from someone posing as a Wells Fargo employee, followed by another caller claiming to be an “investigator.”

The victim was instructed to withdraw more than $20,000 in cash and send it to an address in Deerfield Beach, BSO said.

According to BSO, the money was traced to Omari Burke, who allegedly posted photos of the cash on social media bragging about the scam.

Burke was arrested Sept. 16 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
