A Spring Hill resident says she was recently fooled by a kind face.

“He was polite," Joan Kapuscinski, 81, said. "He was the kind of guy that you would trust.”

Kapuscinski said 22-year-old Daniel Arocho was living next door with a friend when she let him help her carry some things, and even paid him for it.

“I did give him $10 for helping me carry all my Christmas decorations,” Kapuscinski said.

Not long after, she said she got a call from the bank about her checking account.  It appeared as if Joan had taken up a skate-boarding hobby.

“When I went down there, they said, 'how many pairs of skates do you need?' I said, 'what are you talking about?' They just pulled out the sheets and showed me what he bought,” Kapuscinski said.

Hernando County deputies said Arocho had managed to look in Joan’s wallet and memorize her credit card number and security code.  He’s accused of using it to make online purchases equaling more than $9,000 worth of items, including skateboarding equipment.

“I’m 81 years old, I’m lucky if I can crawl out to the car some mornings much less roller skate,” said Joan. “I wish I could!”

Deputies said the trail of transactions led to Arocho, who had the packages sent to his friend’s house in Arocho's name.

Authorities said when questioned, Arocho admitted to stealing the credit card number and buying the items, which also included watches, clothing, sneakers, and an engagement ring for his girlfriend for $52.99.

It’s left Joan feeling like she won’t be able to trust again.

Joan said from now on she won’t be accepting help. She said she likes to do things on her own, anyway.

Arocho was arrested and charged with organized fraud.
