GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A skimmer was used in the fraud scheme that stole money from scores of Lake Michigan Credit Union accounts earlier this month, a source close to the investigation told 24 Hour News 8 Tuesday.
The source also said the fraud may be connected to other crimes across state lines.
The FBI and state authorities are investigating the LMCU fraud from the weekend of Jan. 20, which affected about 100 customers. Some people said thousands of dollars were stolen from their accounts. The money was later restored by the bank, which also issued new debit cards to customers with compromised accounts.
On Tuesday, LMCU provided 24 Hour News 8 with surveillance photos from ATMs on S. Division Avenue and at the Medical Mile showing persons of interest in the fraud case.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with a tip can call MSP’s fraud hotline at 1.800.409.7621 or submit their tip online.
