(ABC 6 News)–The bank fraud suspect allegedly tied to fraudulent withdrawals across southern Minnesota is not believed to be local.
The Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office made that announcement Monday, adding they’re making efforts to confirm the person’s identity as the investigation continues. The sheriff’s office added additional information will be released when its available.
Last week authorities asked for help identifying a woman they believed was connected to fraudulent bank withdrawals in southern Minnesota.
The sheriff’s office says personal information belonging to other people was used at local banks between May 7 and May 13 to withdraw money from existing home equity lines of credit.
The activity happened in Waldorf, St. Peter, Eagle Lake, Hutchinson and Rochester, with losses topping $30,000.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office…
Be skeptical of “Work from Home” offers that require you to receive money into your personal account and transfer it elsewhere, as this makes you a “Money Mule” in a money-laundering operation.
