Deputy Oliveira-Hernandez responded to a fraud complaint involving a Navy Federal Credit Union scam.
The victim reported receiving a call from a suspect claiming there was fraudulent activity on their card. The suspect requested the victim’s card number to “shut down” the account and instructed the victim to send funds through Cash App and Apple Cash to test whether the card would decline.
After sending the funds, the victim discovered two unauthorized transfers from their bank account. The legitimate Navy Federal Credit Union was contacted and immediately placed a hold on the account, cancelled the compromised cards, and issued replacements. The bank informed the victim the lost funds could not be recovered.
The suspect attempted to contact the victim again, but the call was declined. The deputy advised the victim not to engage further and to report any additional suspicious activity.
