Chinatown’s Ghost Scam
Congratulations to Kin Ng, AABANY member and co-founder of the AABANY Prosecutors’ Committee, for his work at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office prosecuting scammers who had run off with the life savings of an elderly Chinese immigrant, mentioned in the New Yorker article above!
Fraud that exploits the religious and spiritual beliefs of immigrant communities continues to be a pervasive problem in Chinatowns around New York and the world. Please join AABANY in thanking Kin Ng for helping to protect those in the Chinese-American community who are vulnerable.
On June 14, the Pro Bono Monthly Clinic, held on the second Wednesdays of the month at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce offices at Confucius Plaza, our volunteers assisted 23 clients from 6 pm to 8:30 pm.
