“The scheme involved suspects who obtained victims’ stolen financial data then used various online messaging apps to recruit other lower-level individual participants who allowed their legitimate bank accounts to be used to funnel stolen funds through,” said Mont Belvieu Police Chief Jimmy Ellison in a police statement.
The investigation has revealed that 35 residents across Mont Belvieu, Baytown, Chambers County, Houston, and Liberty County fell victim to the fraud.
