Over $75,000 in Fraudulent Purchases
March 29, 2023

STATUS: OPEN

Have you seen these 4 or know who they are? Police throughout the country are trying to identify them as they go from one Sam’s Club location to another using a stolen Sam’s Club card to purchase gift cards that have been stolen from other locations.

Approximately 5-weeks ago a wallet was stolen from an elderly lady that contained her Sam’ Club account card. This card was then used in Abilene, TX, Jefferson City, MO, Greenwood, IN, Knoxville, TN, Lexington, KY, Elizabethtown, KY, Owensboro, KY, and Marion, IL to purchase visa gift cards totaling more than $75,000 in fraudulent purchases.

Then on March 20, 2023 at about 10:30 AM an 87-year-old lady had her wallet stolen while shopping at a store on Kingston Pike, Knoxville by the pictured individuals who then went to Sam’s Club and used her card to make over $4,100 worth of purchases.

M.O. - These 4-individuals walk into a Sam’s Club, go straight to a register, take out a set of gift cards that have been stolen from a different store and activate them by using a stolen credit card for the purchase. They then leave the store.

If you recognize any of these individuals or have any information on this crime submit a tip…

Make sure you share this with all of your friends and followers; we need this to go viral as you never know where they may pop up next and we need to put a stop to their preying on our elderly shoppers and their thefts.
