On Sept. 2, a 73-year-old Mattituck woman reported an online scam. She told police she’d received emails from someone purporting to be one of her friends, who she knew had just had surgery. The emails said the “friend” was recovering and needed some assistance — asking the victim to buy her Apple and Google Play gift cards at a local CVS. Employees at the CVS warned the victim that the scenario sounded like a scam, and she reported it to police. An officer called the victim’s friend and determined that she had been hacked.

She said that on Aug.1, two young men in their 20s or 30s, driving a black pickup, knocked on her door and offered to repair her driveway. The homeowner, 89, agreed. The two men, who identified themselves as Joey Delmaro and Paul, put down on oil coat on her driveway, and then asked for a $3,400 check to purchase supplies so they could complete the job. They never returned. The victim said she waited more than a month to report the incident, hoping the men would return and finish the job.

She said she was on her way to rehab at Eastern Long Island Hospital and was trying to get her belongings organized while driving. A warrant check revealed an active warrant for the woman in Blair County, Pa. A Southold police sergeant contacted Suffolk County police and was told that the woman could not be extradited because the warrant was for a misdemeanor. She was advised to contact Blair County Sheriff’s Office when she completes rehab to get the warrant cleared.

• On Sept. 6, police responded to a report of a disturbed person at an urgent care facility in Cutchogue.

She refused an offer of medical care from a responding officer, and left the location without incident.
