87-Year-Old Man Helps Catch Scam Artist Man Honored For Helping Police Posted: 5:52 p.m. EST February 25, 2003 BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. -- An 87-year-old man who was almost the victim of a scam is being honored for helping catch the scammer. Carl Hirdler received a plaque from the Broward County Commission Tuesday. Hirdler got a call from a scam artist who claimed to be the chief of Pompano Beach police, asking for money. Hirdler said he knew it was a scam, but pretended to go along with it. He then called police, and helped in the suspect's arrest. "I feel very honored," Hirdler said. "All I did was talk on the phone. The actual job done by police -- they did a professional job." Police arrested Forrest Parker and Ray McMillin. Investigators say they are linked to two other similar cases. Copyright 2003 by Click10.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
