According to Boynton Beach police arrest affidavits, Dixon scammed an 88-year-old woman into turning over her Bank of America debit and credit cards, convincing the woman that her cards had been compromised and promising to return with new cards.
Police said Dixon similarly conned an 88-year-old man into turning over his Wells Fargo credit and debit cards and an 89-year-old woman into handing over her Bank of America cards.
Dixon was arrested April 5 by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office on fraud charges. Police said the fraud investigation "had similarities" to other crimes in Boynton Beach.
