Pennsylvania Attorney General Disrupts Major Bank Fraud Scheme
Attorney General Dave Sunday, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania State Police, has dismantled a significant bank fraud operation in central Pennsylvania, resulting in charges against 24 individuals. The scheme, orchestrated by 22-year-old Jeremy Fraticelli from York, targeted financial institutions across Cumberland, Dauphin, and York counties, defrauding banks and their customers of over $3 million. The fraudsters impersonated customer service representatives to extract private banking information, which they then used to access victims' accounts, funneling the stolen funds into accounts they controlled. The operation's swift unraveling underscores the effectiveness of collaborative law enforcement efforts in protecting consumers and upholding financial integrity.
