SUMMARY: San Antonio police arrested 41-year-old Cassandra Trevino for using the identity of an 87-year-old woman to seek loans and purchase cars. Between October and February, Trevino allegedly made 46 unauthorized attempts to use the victim’s credit while already out on bond for another fraud case. The community is increasingly aware of schemes targeting seniors, as highlighted by Marian Thomas, a participant at the Blessed Angel Senior Center. Officials emphasize the need for vigilance among family, friends, and financial institutions to protect vulnerable individuals from scams, which are frequently aimed at scamming the elderly.

A woman accused of stealing a local senior’s identity and then using her credit history to go car shopping is facing criminal charges, according to an arrest affidavit.
