Fairfax County Crime Solvers is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the man responsible for opening a fraudulent bank account and depositing a counterfeit check earlier this year. On Tuesday, January 12, around 2:40 p.m., a man visited the SunTrust Bank, located at 5821 Crossroads Center in the Baileys Crossroads area, and requested to open a business account. Bank employees opened the account for the man and as requested, deposited a check into the new account. Over the coming days, the man withdrew funds from that deposit before the bank was able to determine the check was counterfeit. The loss to the bank was more than $30,000. The bank reported the incident to police and an investigation began on Tuesday, September 22.

The suspect presented a fraudulent driver’s license from Tennessee when he opened the account. Detectives believe this fraud may be linked to other fraud cases in outside jurisdictions and that there may be other suspects involved. Surveillance photos captured the suspect when he was inside the bank. Detectives are hopeful someone will recognize the man in these photos.

this is insurance fraud seeking federal $100,000 account gauarantee money

there is no such fucking thing as a bank that cashes a check that hasn't cleared

UNLESS

unless it is part of a mafia clearing bad checks and using niggas in DC agencies to get federal money

it's a scam %100

we see this all over fairfax

when you see news of a bank robbed 5x by the same guy - you know the fucking bankers are the ones doing it

I certainly hope that the FDIC doesn't cover negligence. The people involved should be terminated for gross negligence, and yhebank should be required to take the loss.

Just another liberal democrat!

Stop the hate. Why are we targeting black people?

Check kiting is one of the oldest scams in the book. The chance of mafia involvement is negligible. That said there was probably some incompetence involved.

What's with all the racist shit on this site anyways? I feel more comfortable around black people than I do around you crazy fuckers.

Anything over $5K gets reported to the IRS. Any check of any value over $100 gets verified before it is cleared to release funds into an account. There's something fishy about this story.

crime solvers? link?

I read in the account opening instructions of a small Tennessee bank that they REQUIRE a government form of ID per the Patriot act before they will or can open any kind of account.

This bank should have called the Tennessee State Police to verify that the drivers license name and photo belongs to an actual Tennessee citizen before they opened any account. Checks can take up to 10 days to clear when written for large amounts of money, as the bank should check to see that the issuer actually has released the funds before clearing can take place.

Sounds like ID of somebody had to be stolen to make that fake drivers license.

Start off with the Small Business Administration. They are setting people up with seed money for their small business startups, so this is like those scams designed to suck money effortlessly out of government programs like this, medicare and social security thru false pretenses. Bet if they run this guys face through facial recognition scanning databases they would get a hit.
