In 2022, an online portal allowed grifters to masquerade as city Councilmember Gale Brewer and procure a $32,980 loan from her pension fund.
She's one of 33 NYCERS pensioners whose accounts were hacked since 2020 by grifters who managed to redirect checks or obtain scam loans, records show.
An online portal allowed grifters to reroute checks and pocket nearly $300,000 in illegal loans, including one from the Manhattan Council member's pension fund.
