A second man is in ICE custody for allegedly playing a role in scamming a 74-year-old East Rockaway woman out of $117,000.
Police say Chengxiang Jiang, of Flushing, is charged with grand larceny and was in the United States illegally.
As News 12 has reported, Jinquin Jiang was also put in ICE custody after being arrested in Lindenhurst on Monday.
The victim received a message on her computer saying it was compromised.
She called the number on her screen and was told to withdraw money from her account.
Police say she handed over the cash to several men last week.
