A man accused of preying on a senior citizen through a common bank phone scam allegedly bragged about the crime on social media, as Broward detectives continue to investigate whether more victims may have been swindled.

Omari Burke, 22, was arrested last week by the Broward Sheriff's Office after a 74-year-old man from Alabama was duped into sending more than $20,000 after receiving a call from someone claiming to work for Wells Fargo’s fraud department. BSO
