RIDGE, NY — Suffolk County police are seeking a man accused of taking part in a bank scam that resulted in approximately $4,200 being withdrawn from a 79-year-old woman’s account.
Police said the woman was contacted Aug. 19 by someone claiming to be from TD Bank who told her there was fraudulent activity on her account.
The caller instructed the woman to turn over her debit card to a man who arrived at her residence in a black Nissan Maxima, police said.
