The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify a man who scammed an 87-year-old World War II veteran out of $14,000 by impersonating a deputy.

Deputies say the victim had been scammed out of $5,000 in October but had not reported it.

On Dec. 4, the victim says he was contacted by a man who claimed to be an investigator with the sheriff's office.

“The man told him that an arrest had been made in the original scam and that his help was needed to take down the operation,” Chief Deputy Randy Christian said.

The victim decided to help and left to meet the man at a restaurant in Bessemer on Academy Way.
