(March 6, 2015, Lawrenceville, Georgia) Gwinnett County Police Department Electronic and Financial Crimes Unit (EFCU) detectives are investigating a financial transaction card fraud case that occurred in October 2014.  On October 19, 2014, two suspects used a stolen credit card number, cloned onto another card, to make a $4000 purchase.  The suspects bought $4000 worth of pre-paid credit cards at the Sam’s Club in Duluth (3450 Steve Reynold’s Blvd.).  The Sam’s Club membership account used to make purchases at the store contained false information. The same membership account was used to purchase over $15,000 in pre-paid cards over a three month period in Georgia and North Carolina.

Detectives have tracked the majority of activity from the fraudulently obtained pre-paid cards to Charlotte, NC and Greenville, NC.  Detectives believe the original suspects are selling the cards to third parties, who are in turn using the cards for normal purchases at various locations.

Security photos of the two suspects from the purchase in Duluth are attached.  The male suspect (B/M) is wearing a blue, long sleeve shirt and a New York Yankees hat.  The female suspect (B/F) is wearing pink pants.

Detectives need help from the public to identify these suspects.  Please contact Det. Sheila McMillan at 770-513-5364 with information.  To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or visit www.crimestoppersatlanta.org.  Crime Stoppers tipsters are eligible to receive up to $2000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment.
