Nebraska Man Gave His Savings Account Information To Someone Who Claimed To Be Luke Bryan\u2026 & Got Scammed<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For those that need to hear this\u2026 alarm bells should go off if\u00a0Luke Bryan<\/strong>\u00a0texts you asking for your bank information.<\/p>\n

Though Luke Bryan is\u00a0having to take a bit of a break from performing<\/strong> as of right now, I can assure you that he doesn\u2019t have enough free time to go around texting random people to offer them up money. Sadly, one Nebraska man found that out the hard way.<\/p>\n

According to the Lancaster County Sheriff\u2019s Office, a 59-year-old Bennet man was on the wrong end of a scam this past week. The older individual got a text from someone claiming to be Luke Bryan. Eventually, the scammer asked for the man to send over his savings account information. The Nebraska man did that after \u201cLuke Bryan\u201d said that he\u2019d put $300 in his savings account.<\/p>\n

When the man went to check to see if the money had come through, his savings account had been wiped clean.<\/p>\n

The good news, if you can call it that, is that the Nebraska man only lost $600 in total. We\u2019ve seen plenty of worse instances of scamming, like when a woman\u00a0sent over $60,000 to a scammer who was posing as Kevin Costner<\/strong>. $600 is nothing to sneeze at, but it\u2019s still a loss of money that could have easily been avoided.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the Lancaster County Sherriff\u2019s Office\u2019s official statement on the matter:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn June 17th, a 59-year-old Bennet man received a text from an individual he thought was Luke Bryan. On the 17th, this individual who was posing as Luke Bryan asked for the gentleman\u2019s saving account number, which he did give. The reason why is because he knew Luke Bryan is a country singer and is a good guy, so he did give that information out.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

When he went and checked, he was supposed to get $300. When he checked his account, it was down to $2.42. His loss was $600. We have not heard of this one, but if anyone is texting Luke Bryan, it\u2019s a scam.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
