Brooklyn Man Caught Scamming Walmarts | Rochester News

A Brooklyn man named Huang Dong got busted by Wyoming County deputies after allegedly pulling off a statewide scam targeting Walmart stores, using fake returns to steal thousands in cash and hauling nearly $30K worth of computer processors—some legit, some stolen—in his car. The scheme began in July when Walmart staff caught him attempting to cash out on a pricey chip with deceptive tactics. Investigators connected the dots, leading them to arrest him live at a Warsaw Walmart during another attempted scam. Found with over $1K in cash, Dong, 37, now faces charges including scheme to defraud and possession of stolen property. He’s been released but must appear in court soon. This case highlights how tech-savvy fraudsters are exploiting return policies across the state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
