Nassau County Police were investigating possible Hurricane Sandy repair and clean up scams in the area of North Jerusalem Road on Wednesday after authorities saw two men, who were out-of-state workers, with a confused elderly woman at a bank.
"The two out-of-state workers, escorted the woman to a bank in the area for a job that they apparently did not do after they knocked on her door," Sgt. Michael O'Mara said. "We are still investigating the matter."

O'Mara said that police have been keeping an eye out for scams during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. He said that residents must be very careful.
"If you did not call a contractor, don't let them in your house or on your property," he said. "If they are persistent, call the police."

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...…Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!
