Deceptive Larceny in Dobbs Ferry

• This report was derived from information from the Dobbs Ferry Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

A Dobbs Ferry man was deceived into sending $720.90 to settle a debt by someone who claimed to be from the California District Attorney’s Office.

The 39-year-old said he received a phone call on April 2 saying that he did not pay the balance of a loan he took, and that a warrant for his arrest would be issued if he did not pay the funds. 

He paid the amount that he was told he owed through a My Vanilla prepaid credit card account transaction, and also an activation fee of $7.90.
