She said she’d sent the cash in $100 bills and tucked the money into books, which she sent to two different CVS stores in Texas.</p> <p>She added that he had also bought $100,000 worth of gold bars online in August of last year. The man told her he would pick the gold bars up outside her home on Sept. 1, charges say.</p> <p>That day, she received a phone call and the man told her to bring the gold bars outside and put them in the backseat of a white car sitting outside her home. Once she did so, the car drove off and she couldn’t see who was driving.</p> <p>Documents say the suspect was apprehended in McKinney, Texas. He was seen on video footage picking up the packages from the CVS stores. </p> <p>He admitted to collecting the packages and delivering them to an unknown individual, charges say. He said he knew what was in the packages and had picked up roughly 40 of them between August and September of 2023. </p> <p>He said he had been coerced into picking up the packages, and he was being compensated for his work, according to documents.</p> <p>The suspect was charged with two counts of theft. The theft charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment.</p> <aside class="component list recirculation component--type-recirculation "> <p><h3 class="component__title">More from CBS News</h3> </p> </aside> <div class="content-author"> WCCO Staff</p> <div class="content-author__bio"> <div class="content-author__image"> <p><span class="img "><img alt="512-appicon-minnesota.png " height="80" width="80" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2023/04/14/3f903c1c-7834-4b45-9e2a-d1e23d837478/thumbnail/80x80/e370a104780595f243857bf615c869d6/512-appicon-minnesota.png?v=5501038cbc281520ff9fdc308faab7dc 1x"/></span></p> </div> <div class="content-author__full-information"> <p class="content-author__text">The WCCO Staff is a group of experienced journalists who bring you the content on WCCO.com.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <p>### Insight:<br /> The case of the 23-year-old Texas man involved in the fraudulent scheme highlights the vulnerability of individuals, especially older adults, to financial exploitation.

She said she'd sent the cash in $100 bills and tucked the money into books, which she sent to two different CVS stores in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>She added that he had also bought $100,000 worth of gold bars online in August of last year. The man told her he would pick the gold bars up outside her home on Sept. 1, charges say.<\/p>\n<p>That day, she received a phone call and the man told her to bring the gold bars outside and put them in the backseat of a white car sitting outside her home. Once she did so, the car drove off and she couldn't see who was driving.<\/p>\n<p>Documents say the suspect was apprehended in McKinney, Texas. He was seen on video footage picking up the packages from the CVS stores. <\/p>\n<p>He admitted to collecting the packages and delivering them to an unknown individual, charges say. He said he knew what was in the packages and had picked up roughly 40 of them between August and September of 2023. <\/p>\n<p>He said he had been coerced into picking up the packages, and he was being compensated for his work, according to documents.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was charged with two counts of theft. The theft charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"><p>\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n<div class=\"content-author\">\nWCCO Staff\n\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n\n<span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"512-appicon-minnesota.png \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/04\/14\/3f903c1c-7834-4b45-9e2a-d1e23d837478\/thumbnail\/80x80\/e370a104780595f243857bf615c869d6\/512-appicon-minnesota.png?v=5501038cbc281520ff9fdc308faab7dc 1x\"\/><\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">The WCCO Staff is a group of experienced journalists who bring you the content on WCCO.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n### Insight:\nThe case of the 23-year-old Texas man involved in the fraudulent scheme highlights the vulnerability of individuals, especially older adults, to financial exploitation.
