Overview

  • On Feb. 19 Turner received a call from someone impersonating a JPMorgan Chase banker warning of identity theft at an Arizona branch and was instructed to wire $240,000 to two LLC accounts.
  • Turner transferred $120,000 each to "Island Food Truck LLC" in Eagan and "CNL FL LLC" in West St. Paul before realizing the scam.
  • This week officers executed a Dakota County search warrant to seize Chase banking records as part of an active investigation.
  • Eagan Police have recovered slightly under $2,500 and are preparing criminal charges against several identified suspects.
  • Authorities have asked JPMorgan Chase to explain how the fraudster accessed Turner’s sensitive information and whether any employees were involved.
