A 28-year-old Arnold woman lost $1,237 when someone made multiple withdrawals from her bank account and sent the money to a Cash App account. The woman said she does not know how someone accessed her account to make the withdrawals, Arnold Police reported.
The woman called police on June 3 after her bank notified her about the transactions. The money was withdrawn using the woman’s debit card, which is connected to the mobile payment service application, the report said.
As of June 8, none of the money had been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, Detective Lt. Jeremy Christopher said. He said the woman was instructed to contact the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
Christopher asks anyone who suspects their identities have been stolen or who have been the victim of a mobile-payment scam to call Arnold Police at 636-296-3204.
