Woman Allegedly Drains $34,581 From Wells Fargo Customers in Elaborate Bank Fraud Scheme
A 24-year-old woman is accused of orchestrating an elaborate scheme to drain tens of thousands of dollars from Wells Fargo customers in Texas.
Jacquelina Trana Chambliss allegedly posed as a Wells Fargo employee and scammed two account holders out of more than $34,000.
The victims, Sharon Schoolcraft and Scott Merovitch, say they received phone calls last summer that appeared to be from Wells Fargo informing them that there were fraudulent transactions in their accounts, reports Fox 26.
A woman later showed up at their homes claiming to be working for Wells Fargo. She cut up their debit cards and placed them in an envelope.
Merovitch later reported losing around $20,669 and Schoolcraft $13,912. Wells Fargo reversed the charges and returned their money.
An investigation eventually revealed that the cut up cards were used at local grocery stores, and facial analysis of the security camera video led the police to Chambliss.
Court documents show Chambliss has already committed the same offense in the past.
She was previously arrested in Brazoria County for pretending to be a Wells Fargo employee, collecting someone’s debit card and using the funds to purchase money orders.
