NEW YORK MEN PLEAD GUILTY TO SWINDLING ELDERLY UNITY TOWNSHIP WOMAN

Two men from New York pleaded guilty in court for trying to swindle an elderly Unity woman while posing as delivery men who offered a $5 million lottery award.  The Trib reports that 26-year-old Floyd Forrest and 22-year-old Reheem Anderson each entered a plea to one count of felony theft and a count related to a high-speed chase after an undercover sting exposed their scam.  The victim was told she won a car and $5 million from Publisher’s Clearing House, but later received a fake $30,000 and asked to deposit it and take out $9500 to pay the taxes on her winnings.  The two were sentenced to two to 23 months in prison and a year of probation, but the two will be paroled once New York officials agree to assume their supervision.
