Quincy Police are now warning of a fake account on Instagram and TikTok that has scammed at least a dozen people across the state out of deposit money.
"An older gentleman came out and had said that this is not the first time, there's no tattoo studio here, and to go to the Quincy Police Department to report this," she said."Cash App is denying to get us our money back and stating that we shouldn't be sending money to people that we don't know, which is true, but we thought we were all getting tattoos."
According to Detective Thien Le, the lead investigator on the case with the Quincy Police Department, a search warrant for Cash App, operated by Block, Inc, was applied and granted for police to look at transactions between victims and the account holder, KTD Tattoo Studios. Le told NBC10 Boston that the department is still waiting for some information from the search warrant to apply for charges."They asked for a deposit of $100 and they only had Cash App, which I sent," said George."I requested a refund for my deposit on Cash App and they declined it. And they've been ignoring me ever since."
"I'm pretty angry. It sucks to be scammed out of the money, but I told people about them and recommended people," she continued."And I'm mad at myself, too, just for not — if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, and I should have known. But sometimes it's hard to see those signs at first." All four victims interviewed by NBC10 Boston said they recommend others do a thorough Google search of any tattoo studio before making an appointment, and asking for recommendations through friends or a trusted source.

Studies investigate the meaning of 'multimorbidity' and how much it costs usThe prevalence of multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, varies depending on exactly how it is defined. And the health care costs associated with many disease combinations cost more together than the sum of each individual disease. Those are the conclusions of two new studies, published April 4 in the open access journal PLOS Medicine, that broadly analyze the concept and costs of multimorbidity.
