Beware of Nursing Care Scams
Constantinha Charron of Richland County, South Carolina, was arrested and charged with swindling, exploitation of a vulnerable adult and perjury. Ms. Charron operated through a company called Caring Hearts and Hands. According to reports, Ms. Charron told clients that she was a certified care giver to elderly people. One client gave Ms. Charron a blank check with the express instructions that it was not to be cashed until certain Medicaid claims had been processed. Apparently Ms. Charron never processed the claims, then went ahead and cashed the check in the amount of $780.00 to her benefit.
