The suspects — whose identities were not released — scammed a Riverdale man out of a “large sum of cash” by “convincingly” telling him that his son was in jail and needed bail money, local police said in a Thursday release.
After finding success with the first attempt, the pair went back a second time and tried to scam the victim out of even more cash, police said.
“They got greedy and tried to get more money from him a second time and the arrests were made,” said Riverdale Police.
Anyone who believes they may be a victim of a similar scam is asked to contact Riverdale Police at (973) 835-0034 immediately.
