A Suffolk County man is accused of scamming two men out of thousands of dollars.

Kacper Kusnierz, 34, of Middle Island, cashed fraudulent checks on two occasions last year, according to police.

The man went to TD Bank branches in Mount Sinai on January 27, 20025, and Medford on January 30, 2025.

Financial Crimes Unit detectives determined the fake checks were from senior victims who live outside of Suffolk County.

Kusnierz was arrested Wednesday and will face charges of identity theft and grand larceny when he is arraigned on Thursday at First District Court in Central Islip.

Detectives are asking anyone who thinks they might be a victim of this man or who may have additional information about the scam to contact them at 631-852-6821.
