An 88-year-old Democratic congressional delegate for Washington, D.C., was scammed out of more than $4,000 Thursday, when suspects came to her home claiming to be a “cleaning crew,” Fox News Digital has confirmed.

The suspects were able to access Eleanor Holmes Norton’s credit card after they were let inside her D.C. home.

They charged nearly $4,362 for duct and fireplace cleaning to her credit card while doing no work, according to WRC-TV.

Someone who Norton’s office described as a house manager stopped and reported the alleged fraud after confirming there was no appointment for HVAC services.
