On November 1, 2025, the Port St. Lucie Police Department in Florida arrested 20-year-old Trey Romans and 25-year-old Jean Dorcena for facilitating a “phantom hacker”/social security scam, where:
- Dorcena would call his victim , in this case an elderly male from California, under the guise of a representative with Chase Bank to falsely claim their account was compromised.
- In order to “safeguard” their funds, the victim was asked to withdraw $20,000 from their bank account and mail it in a yellow envelope via FedEx.
- Dorcena would drive Romans to the delivery address in a Hyundai SUV.
The two are currently being held without bond at the St. Lucie County Jail on charges of
- Grand theft
- Scheme to defraud
- Unlawful use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony (Dorcena only)
- Possession and delivery of marijuna under 20 grams (Romans only)
- Violation of probation from a prior arrest (Romans only)
Police have also seized 17 grams of marijuana during the arrest. The victim will receive the money back in the form of a check.
