Like the Darien woman who told police last week that she didn’t know how someone in Florida could have cashed a check against her bank account, a Darien man, the next day, told police he didn’t know how a $48.18 Grubhub delivery to someone in Westport was made using his credit card. He told police on Wednesday, Oct. 23 (the day after the Darien woman’s report) that he’d never used or registered for Grubhub, a service which delivers food from area restaurants to your door. He only knew about the theft because he’d looked at the charges to his account. The man called Grubhub, who told him the address where the delivery had been made.

A Darien woman told police that identity information for her elderly parents was used to open multiple credit cards, in a scam that led to more than $25,000 in charges. She suspects her ex-husband, who had access to the information needed to open the accounts, she told police. Her husband, a doctor or former doctor, is now serving time in federal prison after he was convicted of multiple counts of health care fraud. He has not been charged with any crimes in connection with this incident. The police announcement about the matter didn’t name the doctor, but the Tokeneke Road address on the announcement is the same one where Ramil Mansourov lived.
