Police say a pair of scammers successfully tricked a JPMorgan Chase customer into handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars. The unnamed 61 year-old female victim received a phone call from someone pretending to be an employee at Chase Bank’s fraud department, reports News12 Long Island. Between February 27th and April 28th, the thieves convinced her to make multiple withdrawals and hand over a total of $387,000. An investigation into the theft led to a wild police chase and the arrest of Dominique Jones and Jean Saint Fort, both of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Police say they found a handgun inside the vehicle and discovered stolen credit cards in Jones’ possession. Jones now faces charges of attempted grand larceny, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, two counts of criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest and criminal mischief. Meanwhile, Saint Fort faces charges of attempted grand larceny as well as two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. The duo was formally charged on May 8th. At time of publishing, it’s not clear whether the victim’s $387,000 lost in the scam will be recovered or refunded.
