More churches report man used death scam to get their money

From New Hampshire-

The Rev. David Robinson didn't think much of it when a man who said his name was Joseph Grieco and appeared to be mourning the death of his brother stopped in to the Trinity Episcopal Church in Hampton last month.

"He genuinely seemed saddened by his brother's death. He seemed like a grieving brother," Robinson said Friday.


Robinson was shocked when he saw Grieco's booking photo in the newspaper Friday morning after he was arrested and accused of using a phony death scam to swindle money from the Kensington Congregational Church.


"He got us, too," Robinson said.
