A predatory towing racket is targeting Flatbush’s Jewish community – with scammers allegedly filing bogus blocked-driveway complaints to get neighbors’ cars hauled away, sometimes over Shabbos, then charging victims up to $500 to get them back.

The legal maximum for such a tow is $125.

Flatbush Shomrim coordinator Tzvi Weill tells Belaaz the scheme has victimized dozens of residents across the neighborhood over at least the past six weeks – and he’s got the footage to prove it.

“We’re talking dozens,” Weill said. “Five of them sent me that it happened within the last two weeks.”

The con is simple but brazen. Someone – not the actual resident, as required by law – calls the NYPD pretending to be a homeowner and complains that a car is blocking their driveway. A cop shows up, writes a ticket, and a tow truck rolls in to haul the car to an impound lot. The car’s owner then gets slapped with fees to get it back.

The scam is especially cruel when it hits over Shabbos. In one case Weill described, a man’s son-in-law drove in from Lakewood to drop him off in Flatbush on Friday – and came back after Shabbos to find his car gone. The bill? Five hundred dollars. Nearly four times what the law allows.

Weill said multiple victims have identified F&S Roadside Towing as the company behind the scheme. He’s been reviewing surveillance footage to track whether the same trucks keep turning up at different locations.

“Someone’s running around, obviously,” he said.

When reached by Belaaz, F&S Roadside Towing denied involvement, claiming it does not handle the removal of cars blocking driveways. A representative pointed a finger at a different company with a similar name: FS Towing. FS Towing did not provide comment, and a Belaaz reporter who called was hung up on.

After reaching out to the 70th Precinct Monday morning, Weill said the commanding officer agreed to open a formal investigation.

“I reached out to the 70th Precinct – the CO wants to sit down,” Weill said. “They want to start an investigation about it. Once you give them all the complainants, they’re going to take it seriously.”

The hits are spread across Flatbush, Weill says.

Weill’s message to anyone who gets towed: don’t pay a dime until you call Shomrim.

“If it happens to them, they need to call the local precinct and Shomrim – and we’ll get the car given back to them free of charge,” he said.
