Police said the man pictured got away with $1,500 in what they called a “basic flim-flam scam” at the Atlantic Union Bank on Indian River Road July 23. The man, who witnesses said had a heavy Middle Eastern accent, asked a teller to exchange a handful of cash for $50 bills, then handed the exchanged cash back to the teller and asked for Euros. When the teller said the bank could not provide Euros, police said the man asked for the original cash back and walked out.
