ATM Scammers Caught Taking Nightclub Hotshots for a Ride

2009_09_tiffras.jpg Police have arrested three young women who are accused of scamming up to 50 men that they would lure from nightclubs by offering a ride, only to steal their ATM pins and later rob them. 21-year-olds Tiffany Rasberry and Subhanna Beyah and 22-year-old Barbara Labady were eventually caught after a run-in with an attorney they spotted smoking a cigarette outside the West Village hotspot Lotus on West 14th Street. The "powerhouse lawyer" says, "They drove up in a car with the windows down and said, 'Let's go to a party. Would you like to come with us?' They flirted with him as he took money out at the ATM and then went on to hit up his account half an hour later for $1,600. Another incident scored them $5,000 and they also swiped Blackberries and wallets while having men in the car. The Post refers to the trio as "sexy scammers" and "seductive suspects" and talks to a detective who says they claimed to turn to the scam "as an alternative to turning tricks." According to the Facebook account of Tiffany Rasberry (pictured), she is a 2006 graduate of the Connecticut boarding school Miss Porter's.

A Connecticut housewife couldn't do better...

Many women use sex to lure men to do what they want.

Give them a break, it's not their fault. They are "good kids." We all know that they are simply living up to the nom de guerre lovingly bestowed upon them by Don Imus, MTV, and their boyfriends, brothers and rap artists -- "ho's"

Don't ATMs have a maximum withdrawal of around $500 per day? How were these women able "to hit up his account half an hour later for $1,600?"

Is that an actual picture of one of these "sexy scammers" ? I agree with the scammer part but sexy ? The guys that got into the car must have had their beer googles on.

they aren't good looking so how drunk were the guys lol. man they border on the fugly and my eyes are bleeding.

Tiffany Rasberry? That's a real name? Like, her parents named her that? And did they spell Tiffany Rasberry incorrectly intentionally? My stars!

Man, if i had a dollar for every time a prostitute told me she graduated from Miss Porter's School... !

this is another reason people shouldn't be on facebook, its turning to myspace.

Do guys actually get into cars with strange women who roll up and say "Let's go to a party"? I mean, wow.

This 'scam' & story makes zero sense. Sounds like sour grapes to me. How did they steal pin #s? Hypnosis?

How could they resist? The face that launched a thousand ships, the new Helen of Troy.

More like a face that sunk a thousand ships. How do you spell "fugly"? Tiffa... aw shit I forgots how to spells my name. What's your pin number again?

I would like to hear what Miss Porter has to say about this. Was this beaut a "scholarship" resident student there or a commuter?

"up to fifty men." And it took an attorney to break this case. Wouldn't the average schmuck jot down the license plate of these "lovelies" after they robbed him?

they so ugly, they ain got no alibi. they som low end hos.

I'm sorry but who in their right mind would get into a car full of strange young African-American females? I guess when you're half sober and horny as f=ck anything goes. Again, I apologize, ladies...

Are we sure the vic was white?

she got "ima steal yo shit" written all ova her face

Miss Porter's is a Connecticut boarding school that costs $44,735/year (only $34,000/year if you're commuting).
Looks like that education really paid off well.

Lookout, Hipster Grifter. There's some new bitches rollin' up into your turf.

Who let these two girls out of their cages in the first place?
