NCSO Warns Community of Financial Scam Targeting Local Residents
Holbrook, AZ: The Navajo County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) is warning residents about a financial scam that has recently affected members of our local community and has been reported in other areas of Arizona.
The scam typically begins with a fraudulent bank or credit card security text, followed by a phone call from someone claiming to represent a fraud department. The scammers tell victims their accounts have been compromised and may claim employees at the victim’s local bank are involved.
The scammers then instruct victims to withdraw large amounts of cash while remaining on the phone and coach them on what to tell bank employees if questioned. Victims may then be directed to give the cash to a “courier” or rideshare driver in a bank parking lot. In some cases, the driver may be unaware they are being used as part of a scam.
In a recent Navajo County case, a victim lost approximately $14,000. The suspects attempted to obtain an additional $6,000, but a rideshare driver recognized the warning signs, told the victim he was being scammed, and encouraged him to return the money to the bank.
NCSO deputies are aware of this scam and are working proactively to prevent additional victims. An NCSO Community Resource Deputy recently visited banks throughout Navajo County to provide information about the scam. Banks in Holbrook and Winslow reported encountering versions of this scam locally.
Residents should be suspicious of anyone who:
Claims bank employees are involved in fraud.
Instructs you to withdraw large amounts of cash.
Tells you to remain on the phone during a bank transaction.
Coaches you on what to tell bank employees.
Directs you to give money to a courier, rideshare driver, or other third party.
No legitimate law enforcement agency or financial institution will ask you to withdraw cash and give it to a courier as part of an investigation.
If you receive a suspicious call or text, stop communicating with the individual and contact your financial institution directly using a verified phone number.
If you believe you have been targeted by this or a similar scam, contact your local law enforcement agency or Navajo County Dispatch at 928-524-4050.
