Scammer dupes Las Vegas woman out of $9,000 using a simple trick after turning up on her doorstep... so can you spot it?

A Las Vegas woman lost thousands of dollars after she willingly handed her credit card to a scammer who showed up at her doorstep. 

The victim, who wished to remain anonymous, had received a call from a number with her bank's caller ID warning her of suspicious activity on her account. 

After looking at her online bank statement, she discovered two fraudulent charges and was told by the supposed representative she needed to 'secure her account'.

The caller reportedly said they would send a courier over to pick up her card and destroy it due to the high amount of fraud in the area. 

It was less than 10 minutes before a man showed up at her front door bearing an 'access code,' the victim told KVVU. 

The events that unfolded next were captured on a home security camera.

Footage shows the woman passing her card over to the scammer, who fumbles to pull out a pair of scissors, snips the card in half and tucks it into an envelope.

The scammer was careful not to cut the chip in the card, eventually allowing them access to her bank account.

All the while, the victim was on the phone with the original caller. Only minutes later did she realize that she had been locked out of her online bank account. 

'I said, ''I’m in trouble here, something is not right with this'' and I just quietly hung up,' she explained.

The woman claims she never volunteered information like her home address, and insists the scammers already had it.

She dialed up her real bank, shuttered her accounts and changed her passwords.

A representative told her the scammers already had access to her account from the moment they called, and handing over the card only took the scam a step further. 

'It’s embarrassing to come forward and say that you fell for something like this, that you opened your door and handed something so valuable to a complete stranger,' the woman said.

She has yet to see the stolen $9,000 returned to her.

It was not the first time such an elaborate bank scam had occurred in the area.

On May 28, Las Vegas police announced the arrest of man who had been operating a similar racket.

The Henderson Police Department said Emmanuel Almonor, 32, had been charged with theft, causing financial loss and obtaining money falsely.

Almonor is accused of contacting multiple victims using spoofed phone numbers and saying their debit cards had been compromised.

The 32-year-old would later show up at their homes, presenting himself as a bank employee and asking for their debit card to be sent for 'destruction.'

But Alamor would ultimately use the card himself, racking up charges and conducting money transfers.

Authorities have declined to provide details about whether two incidents are related, citing a pending investigation.
