Charles Horlesen, 31, was charged with theft of $1,500 to under $25,000, conspiracy to commit theft of the same amount, and obtaining property from a vulnerable adult.
According to police, Horlesen allegedly ran a fraudulent refund scheme for a fake tech support service that defrauded the woman out of $20,000.
Police said on Monday, Horleson met with the woman who was under the impression that there was a problem with her Norton antivirus software. There, he allegedly told her she had received an “excessive refund” and told her that if she gave him $20,000 from her bank account, it would fix the issue.
An initial investigation determined Horlesen as the suspect, and he was arrested in Queen Anne’s County on Wednesday.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area who were targeted by Horlesen. Anyone who had contact with him is asked to call MCPD’s Financial Crimes Section at (240) 773-6330.
