Beware, Scammers Targeting Hispanic immigrant Community in Yonkers

The Yonkers Police Department has received several reports of scam artists targeting members of the Hispanic immigrant community; specifically, scammers are approaching unsuspecting victims with the promise to share a lottery prize in exchange for a down payment to secure legal services or act as collateral (or a variation thereof). The scammers may walk the victim to different store fronts as part of the deception, such as a professional building, bank, or law office, and after convincing the victim to turn over cash or jewelry, the scammers will disappear.

Detectives are actively investigating the local occurrences. The two suspects are described as an older light-skin Hispanic male in his late 60’s and a dark-skin Hispanic male in his 40’s. Members of the public should be aware and share this information with their community.
Cuidado con los estafadores que se enfocan en la comunidad de inmigrantes hispanos El Departamento de Policía de Yonkers ha recibido varios informes de estafadores dirigidos a miembros de la comunidad inmigrante hispana; específicamente, los estafadores se acercan a las víctimas desprevenidas con la promesa de compartir un premio de lotería a cambio de un pago inicial para obtener servicios legales o actuar como garantía (o una variación de la misma). Los estafadores pueden llevar a la víctima a diferentes escaparates como parte del engaño, como un edificio profesional, un banco o una oficina de abogados, y después de convencer a la víctima de que entregue dinero en efectivo o joyas, los estafadores desaparecerán.

Los detectives están investigando activamente los sucesos locales. Los dos sospechosos se describen como un hombre hispano mayor de piel clara de unos 60 años y un hombre hispano de piel oscura de unos 40 años. Los miembros del público deben conocer y compartir esta información con su comunidad.
