The latest incident occurred at the Redstone Financial Credit Union (RFCU) on Medical Center Parkway on April 18.

On April 15, a different man reportedly used two different fraudulent IDs with his photo, but the personal information of two different victims and withdrew $7,700 from the two accounts. The fraudulent withdrawals occurred at the RFCU S. Rutherford Blvd. and Medical Center locations.
“It doesn’t appear these men are amateurs, they are comfortable making these fraudulent transactions,” said Public Safety Public Information Officer Larry Flowers. “Since the IDs were so well produced, there were no red flags that the transactions were fraudulent.”
If you can assist with identifying these men, please contact Detective Ray Daniel at (629) 201-5512 or Detective Jessica Rice at (629) 201-5550.
