The jig is officially up for two Long Island healthcare workers after being busted in a fake covid vaccination card scheme that helped them stack up over $1.5 million dollars in cash!

Nurse Practitioner Julie DeVuono, 49 and Practical Nurse Marissa Urraro, 44 had the game on lock allegedly selling fake vaccination cards for $220 to adults and $85.00 flat for kids; reports Suffolk County Police Department to the New York Post.

“As nurses, these two individuals should understand the importance of legitimate vaccination cards as we all work together to protect public health,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner said Rodney K. Harrison.

Sources confirm that the ladies ran their operation for only a short couple of months ranging from November 2021 up until they were arrested recently. Together they worked out of Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare located in Amityville. Julie has been identified as the owner of the establishment.

It has been indicated that the ladies would sell the vaccination cards and then add the falsified information into the New York State Immunization System which would automatically list the individuals as vaccinated.

According to NBC news they also forged fake vaccination cards for 4 NYPD officers.

Officials reportedly uncovered a total of $900,00 in cash at DeVuono’s home with records hinting at the pair cashing in over $1.5 million dollars.

The duo was arranged on Friday and charged for forgery, DeVuono was hit with a second charge of offering fraud.
