On March 17, the victim, a 73-year-old man from Redlands, received a phone call from Lin who reportedly claimed he was an FBI agent.
Lin allegedly told the victim he would be arrested for having child pornography on his computer unless he handed over $25,000.
The victim was told to withdraw the cash from an ATM, place the money in an envelope and wait for a courier to pick up the cash from his home. The courier arrived and the money was collected.
The next day, the victim received another phone call from the suspect who told him the FBI had warrants for his arrest and he would need to provide another $35,000.
