1. A Plainview woman lost more than $29,000 in phone scam. The 43-year-old woman wired $29,800 to a person claiming to be from Chase Bank's fraud department. The woman wired the money to a Bank of America account to resolve the issue and the scammer went by the name "Tracy Smith." (Daily Voice)
2. Check out these three new restaurants to try on Long Island. The Farm Italy is located right here in Huntington and The Brass Swan is a short drive away in Roslyn. Both have gotten rave reviews so far and we want to know what you think as well! (Long Island Press)
