On August 6th, Shamre received a call
from a woman who had just been scammed
out of $30,000 by someone posing as a
representative from the Social Security
office. Shamre immediately sprang into
action, gathering surveillance footage
to track the suspect.
Working closely with the victim, Shamre
arranged a second meet up with the
scammer. As the victim left the bank,
Shamre members closely followed using
both ground teams and drone
surveillance, carefully monitoring every
move up to the meeting location.

I'm Chief Richard Taylor, NYPD community
affairs with a very important message.
If someone calls saying that they are a
cop and they're asking for money, then
they're not a cop. They are a con. A con
artist pretending to be a cop. New York
City police officers who never call
asking for any type of money whatsoever.
If you receive a phone call from someone
saying they are a police officer and
they're demanding money because they say
you have a warrant or anything of that
nature, call 911 and report that to us.
Nobody should be scammed. Just today we
had an incident in the compound of the
66 precinct where a person was scammed
for money by a person saying they were a
police officer and there was a warrant.
It was totally false.
Bring this message to the community to
please tell your family and your
friends. The police department will
never ask for any type of money
whatsoever. We have a tremendous working
relationship with the show patrol. Want
to acknowledge Bark for their tremendous
work. and helping us make this arrest
today and their work day to day between
car breakings, burglaries, and
everything else missing children. They
at the forefront assisting us and help
the community. I don't think you've ever
had a better, stronger working
relationship than right here, right now
police department and community leaders
such as Sher. So, thank you for your
support, your friendship. May we all
have many more great years to come.
Thank you.
