Another bank fraud case with a Florida victim in Dalton

DALTON, Georgia (WDEF) – Dalton Police are investigating another identity theft case involving a Florida victim.

This time, a man used stolen information from the Florida victim to try to withdraw money at the Truist bank branch on Glenwood Avenue in October.  He had a fake I-D for the victim, plus his account numbers and social security number.

He was trying to withdraw $4,000 from an account in Jupiter, Florida.

The bank called the person in Florida to confirm, and found it wasn’t him. So they rejected the withdrawal.

But the victim wasn’t so lucky a month later.

Even though he had closed the account and opened a new one with different numbers, a bank did withdraw $4,000 in Pennsylvania.

The suspect in this case, is a man in his 30’s or 40’s, around six feet tall with glasses. He had close cropped balding hair.

You may remember, another similar case in Dalton back in November.

A different suspect did manage to steal $7,500 from two different Regions bank locations in Dalton from another Florida victim.

The victim that time was a woman in Palm Harbor.

That suspect also used a fake ID with stolen bank account numbers and ID info.

If you have any information on the identity in the latest case, please contact Detective John Edwards at 706-278-9085, extension 9-152.
