A Pennsylvania woman accused of scamming Nassau County businesses out of over $100,000 is facing grand larceny and identity theft charges.
Authorities say the case began when Zench Eye Care received a fraudulent email requesting a wire transfer worth $49,300 in September 2021.
The Baldwin company initially complied, believing it was a legitimate payment request from a vendor. They went on to contact police about the incident the following day.
During the course of the investigation, police also discovered that a $101,150 check issued by a Syosset law firm in June had been intercepted by an unknown party.
That individual altered the check and deposited it into a personal account, according to authorities.
Investigators identified the suspect as 28-year-old Danesha Glenn. She was located, arrested without incident and arraigned Friday in Mineola.
