May 15th, 2008 Posted in In The NewsCaregiver charged with theft
Police are warning residents to protect their banking information after an elderly Niagara Falls couple were scammed by their caregiver.
Niagara Regional Police launched an investigation in February after the couple noticed unauthorized withdrawals from their bank account.
Video surveillance footage obtained by police show a woman making a withdrawal from an ATM using the complainants’ debit card.
Police say the woman had been employed by the couple to assist them in day-to-day errands including banking.
Clovis woman claims she was scammed
Clovis resident Nina Sikes says she was surprised and excited when she got this letter, wondering to herself why she would receive her economic stimulus check, before everyone else.
But when she realized that’s not what it was, she says she was heart-broken.
“I go oh my gosh, that was quick, bush said he was gonna make them earlier and I was real thrilled,” says Sikes.
That was, until she opened the letter. That on the outside reads, “Federal Stimulus Bill benefits, notification-immediate action required.”
Sikes thought it was her economic stimulus check.
But when she tore off the sides and opened it up, it was Ohio based, Residential Finance Corporation telling her she had been approved for a $130,000 loan.
I’ve been scammed!!!
Few days ago, a guy called me and introduced a product. He mentioned about a multi-purpose soap that can be both used as a bath soap and a detergent soap. So I was intrigued because of all the sales talk he mentioned after his introduction, he said it can also be used as a maintenance for pimpled people. Of course, being acne-faced I have to order right away, just to try the product.
