The Roosevelt Island Public Safety Incident Report listed:
11/23/19 2100 580 Main Street Grand Larceny PSD/NYPD responded Condition corrected.
In response to my inquiry seeking more details, Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) Public Information Officer Terrence McCauley answered:
It was a confidence scheme involving an Island resident. We would not feel comfortable sharing more details than that out of concern for the alleged victims privacy.
I followed up asking:
Is it possible to give more details so that other possible victims may be aware and not be a victim of similar attempts?
Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Chief Kevin Brown replied:
This scheme is one that involves catfishes a person or persons (perpetrators) pretends to be a love interest and retrieves personal information from the victim and then the perpetrators tells the victims they will share their information if they dont pay cash usually through a wire transfer.
