Once you've been doing something all your life that's more or less the way you do it. Kinda like a habit.

At 93 it's pretty amazing to me that she even manage on her own to take care of things like paying bills. I would think it highly rare that someone in her situation, for whatever reason, would be using the internet or any electronic/computerized methods to conduct their business.

They didn’t mention if he was green, purple, or orange?

My mother simply believed that doing it by hand really got it done. She didn’t trust computer systems. Of course, in the last ten years of her life, I did all the work...

OK here we go...

1. she has a Hispanic name...however that may not mean much...

2. Has someone checked the bank to make sure she did with draw the money ???

3. as an very old person she has no bills...or few...

4. She lives in government housing, has free electric water, gas etc uses food stamps for food and has an EBT card also...

5. What bills is she paying ??? $600 is a lot of money for incidentals...

6. I’m 67 and I don’t spend $600 on bills ...

Now the money will pure in to Maria Vasquez or her family etc from people not as skeptical...

Nice scam...

It is a sad commentary that such scamming is so common that even true victims are looked upon with suspicion.

The whole thing is on video with the man easily seen. If he isn’t turned in, it won’t be because he’s unidentifiable.

A man suspected of plucking a 94-year-old woman’s pension money right out of her bra has been collared, sources told The Post. The man, identified only as a 26-year-old, was arrested early Friday and held at the 25th Precinct — just three blocks from the Regines clothing store where wheelchair-bound Maria Vasquez was mugged Wednesday....
