MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A Florida woman took a scam beyond the phone lines, showing up at a Martin County resident\u2019s door pretending to represent a bank and demanding the victim\u2019s credit card on Monday. <\/p>\n

According to the Martin County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>, Monique Love Turnbull, of Miami, was seen at a victim\u2019s doorstep claiming the victim\u2019s bank account had been compromised. Turnbull asked for the victim\u2019s credit card and said she would dispose of it.<\/p>\n

As law enforcement investigated, deputies were alerted to another call identifying Turnbull in a separate case. Body camera video<\/a> shows deputies pulling Turnbull over and asking her to step out of the car.<\/p>\n

The arresting deputy then tells Turnbull she is under arrest for fraud before placing her in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office is warning residents never to allow someone into their home if the person was not scheduled to visit. Residents should also never hand over credit cards, cash, gold or other valuables to someone who shows up unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

MCSO says anyone who comes to a resident\u2019s home claiming to represent a bank or financial institution and asking for valuables should be treated with suspicion. Residents are urged to call 911.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MARTIN COUNTY, Fla.
