A 52-year-old Eureka woman lost $885 when someone accessed her account and transferred the funds from her bank account, Eureka Police reported.
The woman told police the bank alerted her to the funds being transferred from her account, which is linked to her Venmo account. The victim said the transfer occurred at 5:10 p.m. Jan. 8 without her knowledge, the report said.
The woman said she attempted to contact the person who received her money through Venmo, but the account the money was transferred to had been deactivated, according to the report.
As of Feb. 19, the woman’s money had not been refunded, and no suspects had been identified, Lt. Brett Grittini said.
