Scammer Swindles Elderly Man of $250K | Phoenix News

A Glendale police detective is hunting a slick scammer who stole nearly $250,000 from a 71-year-old New Yorker—using a simple phone call to trick him into handing over a bank verification code. The thief then forged the victim’s ID, cashed out at a Chase Bank just blocks from the police station, and vanished. Surveillance shows him in a blue suit, sunglasses, and headphones. Authorities are begging witnesses to step forward—especially if you recognize that look. And to everyone: never share bank details over the phone. Hang up. Call your bank directly. Stay safe.
