A Hudson Valley home health care aide is accused of defrauding a customer.
On Friday, New York State Police from the Poughkeepsie barracks arrested Shamecca M. Allah, 34, from Poughkeepsie for grand larceny, a felony.
After receiving a complaint of possible fraud, an investigation revealed Allah stole $1,450 from a victim under false pretenses while working as a home health care aide for Community Home Health Care in Poughkeepsie, police say.
Allah fraudulently charged the victim for services while simultaneously submitting hours to Community Home Health Care for the purpose of billing the victim’s health insurance carrier for the same services, according to State Police.
Allah was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the town of Pleasant Valley Court on March 21.
If any person believes they may also be a victim of fraudulent billing by either Shamecca Allah or Community Home Health Care they are asked to please contact Investigator Melilli of the New York State Police at (845) 677-7300.
