“Each of these accounts, from a public-school PTA’s operating funds to a home health aide’s life savings, was drained within days,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We allege this operation stole credit and debit cards from the mail, and then activated them by taking over the victims’ phone numbers, before withdrawing cash, wiring funds, or going on shopping sprees.
