According to Nassau County Police detectives, on Wednesday, Jan. 15, a 77-year-old female victim in Floral Park was contacted via telephone from an unknown person who advised her that her granddaughter was arrested after being involved in an auto accident and needed $9,800 for bail money.
An arrangement was made, and an unknown subject came to her home where the cash was given to him.
On Friday, Jan. 17, another call requesting an additional $19,000 for a judge ordered payment for medical treatment on behalf of the other party was needed.
