Scammer Arrested After Having Money Delivered To His Home: Police

A Freeport man was arrested Thursday morning after police say he scammed an elderly person into mailing him money.

According to police, they received a call from an 86-year-old man who was told his son had been arrested, and that he needed to send bail money to 384 Atlantic Ave. in Freeport.

Police went to the address and saw a UPS employee dropping off a package to a man. Police investigated and determined that the man who lived in the apartment, Justin Estoff, 21, was allegedly scamming the victim and had the money delivered to his home. Police arrested him without incident and said they found he had two fake driver's licenses on him.

Estoff is charged with third-degree grand larceny, two counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument, attempted third-degree grand larceny and first-degree defraud. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday in First District Court in Hempstead.
