A recent phone scam bilked an area woman out of more than $6,800.  State Police say the incident happened on November 17th in Juniata County.  A Walker Township woman received a phone call from an unidentified caller who told the victim she could receive large amounts of money in a loan if she purchased Best Buy gift cards and returned them to the caller.  The woman followed the instructions before realizing it was a fraudulent call.
