Caregiver Scam Targeting Seniors | Miami News

A 26-year-old woman, Jamisha Shamari Sylvain, is back on the radar after allegedly targeting elderly residents in Deerfield Beach with a chilling pattern of deception—posing as a caregiver to steal cash, debit cards, and financial info. This isn’t her first rodeo: she was arrested in 2025 for stealing $1,600 from an elderly man using his bank card, and despite being released in May 2026, she’s reportedly returned to her scamming ways. Now authorities warn seniors to verify anyone claiming caregiving access—and urge families to monitor bank statements closely. If you suspect you’ve been targeted, report it immediately. The investigation is ongoing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
