A Chippewa Falls woman tells investigators a man and his ex-wife conned her out of more than 119-thousand dollars. The victim says she met Andrew Conklin on Facebook last summer. Investigators say Conklin convinced the woman to buy one dozen cell phones and a tablet computer, while taking out loans for five vehicles, jewelry and other items. Conklin promised to sell them and give her the proceeds. Brandi Schofield is accused of using credit cards the victim had opened — with no intention of paying her back. Conklin and Schofield are charged with felony theft by false representation. The victim’s name hasn’t been released.
