A parking attendant at UBS Arena in Long Island was apprehended for reportedly cheating hockey fans and concertgoers by having them pay their parking fees to him directly. The 26-year-old Tremayne Brown of Queens reportedly took nearly $5,000 without giving it to his employer. He conned customers into using his Venmo account 125 times since April 17. His scheme was revealed on Jan. 12 when his supervisor overheard him requesting payments, per the New York Post.
The UBS Arena’s parking lot supervisor talked to a customer, who said Brown instructed her to pay $30 to his Venmo account to
“save on fees.”
Court documents reveal that this wasn’t Brown’s first rodeo as he had used this stunt before. His Venmo account history indicated he had done the same thing on multiple occasions with failure to send the money to the arena.
Brown reportedly didn’t disclose his dishonest actions in the arena’s business records. He was apprehended on Jan. 14 and charged with third-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records. According to court records, he has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
