California Duo Arrested in Multi-State Fraudulent Cash Advance Scheme
It was working like a charm until the duo tried to make a fraudulent cash advance at Municipal Credit Union in Sioux City, Iowa. The scheme involved the use of fraudulent credit cards that were presented for cash advances at multiple financial institutions in multiple states. When the cash advance was denied, the couple encouraged the tellers to contact the customer service number, which was manned by an accomplice who authorized the transactions. [8/14/15]
