Palisades Park police arrested a notorious con man with a history of scamming the elderly across the United States after they said he convinced an 87-year-old supermarket shopper on Friday that her car’s door locks were broken and he could fix them.
Anthony Quick, who was once featured on “America’s Most Wanted,” was charged with scamming two other Palisades Park victims, as well — one of them 87 and the other 86.
Quick, 51, was wanted in connection with similar scams in California, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
One of the victims, a 90-year-old Pasadena man, lost $8,500.
Quick, who made “America’s Most Wanted” after authorities said he scammed an elderly Florida woman in 2006, has convictions for grand theft and fraud on his record.
