ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta woman reported March 22 someone deceived her into purchasing a $200 gift card in exchange for $25,000 and a Tesla. 

The victim reported the suspect called her March 19 and claimed to have money from the government they were distributing to people. 

The suspect reportedly told her to purchase a $200 gift card from Kroger, and she would receive the vehicle and $25,000 in return. 

The victim told officers she realized she was being deceived because the suspect immediately cashed the gift card after receiving the information, the report states. 

She reported the suspect asked for an additional $1,000 split between two gift cards, but she refused.

No suspects have been identified.
