Fraud

A woman shopping for student loans was taken in by an Internet scam, according to a Goldsboro police report. Shaniece Carissa, 26, of 225 Randall Lane, told investigators that she applied for a loan online. After filling out the application, Ms. Carissa was contacted and instructed to send $500 as an installment fee. She did and was then told send an additional $300 which she also did, using a prepaid debit card both times. She heard nothing further from the alleged dummy loan corporation and her attempts to contact the company failed. The investigation is still open.

New Hope Road, told police that both cars were broken into overnight. Items taken included a men's diamond ring, a GPS unit, a pair of Bose headphones and other jewelry.
