Warner Robins woman loses savings in online scam

(WMAZ) Carolyn Benningfield of Warner Robins seemed to have the all-American life.

She worked as a civilian on Robins Air Force base, had a husband in the Air Force and two sons, and lives in a middle class home in Warner Robins.

But Benningfield fell victim to what law enforcement calls “online romance fraud.”

After she met a man online, he eventually convinced to her donate her entire life savings to his fake oil company, costing her almost $800,000.

After her husband passed away in 2009, Benningfield felt lonely, and earlier this year, decided to look for love on Match.com.
