WENDOVER, Utah, Dec. 28, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — The police are advising women to be aware that a man using a fake Facebook account is trying to lure women into meeting with him in the Wendover area.
A news release from the Wendover Police Department says someone using the name “Esteban Rojas” has contacted several women and men through Facebook in an attempt to set up a meeting with them.
“A Wendover woman recently went to an arranged meeting place after being contacted by the unknown subject via Facebook, and encountered a slender, light complexion man, wearing a ski mask,” the news release says.
The man fled in a red pickup truck when the woman’s partner, who was with her, confronted him.
