State Charges Cantonment Woman With Exploitation Of Elderly Person, Credit Card Fraud
July 12, 2023
State authorities recently charged a Cantonment woman with fraud and elderly exploitation for allegedly defrauding an elderly person.
Pamela Suzanne McCann was charged with two counts of felony fraudulent use of credit cards more than two times in six months, and felony exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult.
According to the Florida Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), the victim was an 84-year old female suffering from numerous serious age-related illnesses that was confined to a walker and wheelchair until they fell. The victim was admitted to the hospital and rehabilitation faculties.
McCann worked fo a company as a senior care advocate, according to court documents.
The MCFU said McCann was added to the victim’s American Express account and later made thousands of dollars in charges. The agency said McCann was an unauthorized user on a Capital One account belonging to the victim, with McCann’s card totalling $2,443 in charges to McCann’s insurance company, power company, Verizon, restaurants and gas stations.
The victim’s AT&T account reached a balance of $2,317, according to investigators, for 16 devices — five phones and an Apple iPad with McCann as the registered user, five phones registered to McCann’s husband, four wearable devices for which McCann’s husband was the registered user, and one additional iPad with “Apple iPad” as the registered user.
McCann was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $15,000 bond.

Shame on you Suzi! You of all people know better!
People like this are the scum of the earth. The thing to take away from this is a trusted family member needs to be a Strong advocate for the patient, some of these facilities look good from the outside and may have nice rooms but that’s only a visual, at best they will have a few good people, very few, some average people and a lot of horrible people.
I agree with mnon, iv seen some pretty shady and abusivethings in these care facilities. There needs to be more supervision to hold quality of care.
How pathetic can a person be to steal from the elderly, handicapped or anyone who is not in a position to speak/act for themselves??? This is a horribly selfish thing that should be worthy of hanging and, since what goes around comes around, I’m certain these awful people will eventually hang themselves. God is watching!
I hope the woman has better care now, with people who respect the elderly. Not all care agencies hire low life’s. People talk. Ask around. I used one 4 years ago and still sing praises for them every day.
need to put her out on the old chain gang digging ditches,with a spoon.
Disgusting, these are the type these care agencies hire. No CNA license, loose background check if any. They accept any drag heel that walks it. They just want butt’s in houses so they get paid by the state. They don’t care if are getting the proper help as long as you aren’t dying on them. I had a racist one caring for someone and as soon as I spoke up about it they drooped us, simply dropped us, no help, no compassion that I had no further help, two week wait window just to be seen by another agency for onboarding. These scum have no idea what they are not only doing to the victim but everyone involved with the victim.
There should be more regulation.. So be warned when you hear those commercials.
