February 6, 2024Scammers Trying to Steal Your Necklaces In Dyker Heights, Brooklyn
Brooklyn, you know the drill….Watch out for the SUV with the couple who asks for directions to the hospital; or wants to give you jewelry.
In August, the NYPD shared these photos.
The scammer are alive and well this week in Dyker Heights because they know nice people live there!
Good neighbors are sharing the stories to make people aware:
a) Two neighbors were approached separately in the vicinity of 74th and 14th Avenue over the weekend by a couple in a white SUV. They asked for directions to a local hospital, tried to befriend them and then attempted to give them a necklace. Thank God both of my neighbors were wise enough to get away from them!
b) This just happened to my neighbor about a week ago on 11th Avenue near 77th Street. A white SUV, a couple in the car, woman is either pregnant or saying she is. They were asking about hospitals in the area, my neighbor approached the car, they started trying to sell him bracelets while talking. They started putting the bracelets on his wrist (while trying to get his watch off), he realized what was happening & backed up. The SUV took off & he fell to the ground.
c) I was taking a walk on 76th Street near 10th Avenue when an SUV pulled up with men inside. The driver said he needed directions and told me to come close to the vehicle. When I asked him why, the vehicle drove away. The incident happened in October, but I kept it to myself until now.

February 4, 2024Malliotakis Stood Up For NYC in Washington
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis stood up for NYC.
Whatever party you are in, listen to her speech – she’s right. (See video)
President Joe Biden has turned his back on NYC. Mayor Adams is doing most of the work alone and he needs a lot more help from Biden.
We can’t have the NYPD being attacked and released without bail. The Manhattan DA failed NYC. NYS Senator Andrew Gounardes voted for this bill and didn’t understand how judges understand it.
Malliotakis went prepared to present in Washington because she loves NYC and she loves being a representative for NY.
