• A 70-Year-Old Wired Nearly $1 Million After a Crime Threat, a Gold Demand Triggered a Police Sting (wealthofgeeks.com) — A 70-year-old Hicksville resident was conned into wiring more than $900,000 before Nassau County detectives set up a sting at the North Broadway McDonald's, arresting a Queens woman who came to collect fake gold. Police say scammers posed as Indian authorities and a CIA agent, and they're urging Hicksville residents to report similar fraud attempts and never move money or buy gold on such demands.
