Con man steals $90,000 from currency exchange.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Police are seeking a man who duped a teller and stole $90,000 Sunday afternoon by posing as the owner of a currency exchange in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the South Side.

At 5 p.m., a female teller at a Currency Exchange on the 800 block of West 87th Street received a telephone call from a man who she thought was the owner. The man said that an “auditor” was going to stop by the business in a few minutes and would give her a certain “secret code," according to police, who said the "owner" then told her the code.

When the "auditor" came by and gave her the “code,” it matched the one she had been given by the "owner." The man told her he was going to check the safe, and took the $90,000, saying to her that he was going to count the money and be right back, police said. He never came back.

The owner told police he had a similar incident occur about a month ago at another currency exchanges he owns.
