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 scam began when the woman received a call that showed her bank's name on the caller ID. The person on the other end of the line told her to check her account where she spotted two fraudulent transactions. 

The scammers, feigning alarm, then offered to send an associate to her house. 

Ten minutes later, someone appeared with an 'access code' and took the woman's card, cutting it in half, but ensuring the card chip was not damaged. 

They then fled, taking the cut card, and continued to make more transactions that totaled $9,000. 

Now the victim, speaking anonymously to KVVU, is sounding the alarm. 

A Las Vegas woman lost $9,000 in an elaborate scam that saw a 'courier' turn up at her house and cut her credit card in half

The anonymous victim received a call from a number with her bank's caller ID and was told that there was suspicious activity on her account, minutes before a strange man showed up

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.

Soon after handing over her credit card, the woman realized that she had been locked out of her account

The incident came just weeks after 32-year-old Emmanuel Almonor was arrested for carrying out a nearly identical scheme

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.
