TMZ is reporting that TNA Wrestler and Olympic gold
medalist
Kurt Angle is on the hunt to find fraudsters
who attempted to swindle money from his 80-year-old mother. The report states,
Angle's mother recently received a call from someone in the Dominican Republic
who claimed her grandson was in a local jail and needed $4,000. Angle's mom then
recieved another call the following day demanding an additional
$4,000.
Kurt's mother couldn't afford to send the additional $4,000 so
she contacted Kurt. Immediately Kurt became suspicious and began his search for
the family member in question. the family member was fine and had not visited
the Dominican Republic in over a year. That's when Kurt contacted local
authorities.
Kurt believes the crooks may have someone working with them
in the United States, possibly locally in Pittsburgh because they knew close
family details and were able to find his mother's unlisted phone number. Angle
is quoted as saying:
"I'm gonna find the son of a bitch who did this to
my mom," Angle tells us ... adding, "I don't want this happening to anyone
else!"
