Two women tried to scam an elderly woman at 11:15 a.m. Saturday while she was shopping at Hermitage Towne Plaza, police said.

The women approached the 77-year-old woman and said they had found a substantial amount of money and asked her to front them some money so they could look into splitting the found money, police said.

The woman said she only had $15 but had an automated teller machine card, police said. The women drove her to an ATM so she could get more money, but the intended victim, feeling suspicious about what she was being asked to do, entered the wrong personal identification number and told the women she had forgotten the correct one, police said.

The women took the intended victim back to the plaza and left her off, police said.

The suspects are described as a white woman in her late 60s, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 180 pounds, and a black woman in her late 40s or early 50s, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 145 pounds, with gray hair, which might have been a wig, police said.
