Florida woman arrested for scamming elderly, found with cash in body cavity

A Florida woman faces charges after allegedly attempting to scam an elderly individual by impersonating a bank employee. Moniquie Love Turnbull, 31, of Miami, was arrested by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on suspicion of fraud.

According to reports, Turnbull approached the victim at their home, claiming to work for their bank. She informed the resident that their account had been compromised and attempted to persuade them to surrender their debit or credit card, stating it needed to be destroyed. The intended victim, however, grew suspicious and contacted law enforcement.

During Turnbull's booking at the county jail, deputies discovered $3,200 in cash concealed within a body cavity. Authorities are also investigating whether Turnbull may have been involved in a similar scam targeting another individual. The incident highlights the ongoing threat of financial scams targeting vulnerable elderly populations.
