Two men from Texas face stealing charges after allegedly scamming a Jefferson City man out of thousands of dollars.
Brandon Martin and Tarus Prince were arrested by Jefferson City officers Wednesday.
The victim says he clicked on an ad on his laptop, causing the computer to lock up. He then called what was listed as a Microsoft tech support number that turned out to be the scammers.
The two are accused of beating the victim out of almost $41,000. They were arrested when they came to his home to pick up money. Officers were there waiting for them.
