NYC granny loses life savings to online scam — and she’s placing the blame on banks: lawsuit

Fuente: New York Post

An Upper East Side granny lost her entire life savings to cold-hearted online scammers – and now, she’s taking her banks to court.   The twisted scheme began in August 2023, when a pop-up window on 86-year-old Nina Mortellito’s computer falsely warned her that her bank accounts had been hacked, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in Manhattan Supreme Court.   Over the next nine months, Mortellito – who suffers from age-related memory issues – was convinced by the fraudsters to withdraw a total of approximately $700,000 in a series of unusual withdrawals, and send them the dough for safekeeping, according to court papers.
