Fraud

Courthouse Road | 10/27 4:00 p.m. | Deputy Daigle responded to a fraud report regarding an unauthorized account opening. The victim reported receiving a phone call from the legitimate American Express asking if the victim had opened a new credit card. When the victim declined, the bank advised the victim that there was fraudulent activity on a credit card in the victim’s name. The bank closed the account, and the victim froze their credit. No suspects have been identified at this time.

Garrison Woods Drive | 10/27 8:23 p.m. | Deputy Daigle responded to a fraud report regarding a Verizon scam. The victim reported receiving a phone call claiming to be with Verizon. The suspects stated that the victim’s account had been compromised and instructed the victim to click on a link. After the link was clicked, the suspects gained access to the victim’s phone. The suspects then disconnected the victim’s phone number from the device and opened multiple bank accounts in the victim’s name. The suspects also transferred funds from the victim’s existing bank accounts into the unauthorized accounts. The victim then noticed the unauthorized transactions and accounts, as well as that their phone number had been disconnected. The victim reported that the suspects had also contacted the victim’s contacts requesting additional funds. The victim notified their banks, which froze the accounts. Deputy Daigle advised the victim to also freeze their credit to prevent additional accounts being created.

The suspect refused to participate in field sobriety tests or to provide a breath sample. The suspect was subsequently arrested. At the Sheriff’s Office, the suspect refused to provide a breath or blood sample, so additional charges were brought forward. The suspect was identified as a 33-year-old female from Stafford.
