Laura Grasso, a resident of the Upper East Side, was scammed out of $1,000 after helping two “lost” children who came to her for assistance.
While enjoying a day in Central Park last month, the two young scammers approached her, insisting they were lost and asked to borrow her phone to call their mom. Being a helpful individual, Grasso handed over her phone to the impersonators. Still, instead of calling home, they located her Venmo app to send $1,000 to a business account labeled “Black Lives Matter.“
