In a recent bust by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department (FLPD), nearly $1.2 million swiped in a cunning construction fraud scheme has been clawed back. The elaborate scam targeted public coffers amid the bustling construction of Fort Lauderdale’s new police headquarters last September. According to an official release posted on FLPD’s website, a sharp-eyed employee from the city’s finance department sniffed out something fishy after an email, purportedly from construction contractor Moss, prompted an unwitting payment of the hefty sum.
