Folks...that is not the only boiler room fraud going down in Copiague....a few years ago I worked for the folks who own Riverhead Raceway...boy did they have a so called "legitimate" boiler room going with all money supposedly going to the cops...Yeah, right.

But their uncle is de judge who has his name on the biggest courthouse in Riverhead so you might say these two Riverhead Raceway gals are kind of "protected" if you know what I mean.

Come on DA...check out this scam....it makes these coin dealers look like neophytes!!! But then again, there is that judge in the family!!!!

Thanks for listening......

The elderly are prime targets for scam artists, because of their declining senses, and become easily deceived and manipulated. This pack of rats should have the book thrown at them, and the table and the chairs and anything else at hand.

Gee, that scheme sounds a heck of a lot like what ruined our economy on the street.

Why are there not more Wall Streeters being charged with a crime?

No, its not the same store. I know the owner of the store (Genovese Shopping Strip) and they would never engage in this activity.

Then that would be the place. I just wanted to clarify which jewelry store it was. The one I was referring to our friends and I don't want them getting bad press for being a good, honest business. Thanks.

In our society robbing cash is practically the "American Way" Robbing people of their nest eggs and life's savings should be punished as severely as murder.

Wall Street does this every 10 to 12 years, and of course we have operations like those mentioned in this article. Hang them all.

This sort of reminds me of the biggest scam of all - The Federal Reserve Bank. It's not a government institution and it has no reserves. Those pieces of paper in your pocket are as worthless as these coins unless you have faith in the governments promise that they are sound. If you do, you are as dumb as these marks.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Capricorn

You really have some great ideas today, Cap. The question is whether you dare to put them into action. If you're hesitant about this it's because you suspect that your plans and opinions are too off-beat or unconventional, but are you sure that's true? Discussing them with people you trust could reveal a very different picture and make you realize that you've got your finger on the pulse. Have the courage of your convictions!
