OKC Police Release New Photos Of Suspects In Parking Lot Scam

Police have released new surveillance photos they hope will lead to the capture of two men who've scammed thousands of dollars from elderly victims in Oklahoma City.

Police say the men approach victims in parking lots and show them a large wad of cash. The scammers claim they need help donating the money to an American charity. They then convince the victims they need to be able to trust them with the cash. So, as a sign of good faith, they ask the victims to withdraw money from their own bank accounts.

That's when the crooks grab all the cash and take off.

Don, an 83-year-old disabled veteran, was a victim of the scam. He's on a fixed income, and says he's embarrassed he lost $10,000 to the smooth-talking crooks.

"You just can't hardly believe it, but they're out there," said Don. "These crooks are out there. There's nothing I can do. I've lost it, it's gone. So I just as well go on and do the best I can."
