The Sheriff’s Office highlighted three incidents last week in which Flagler County residents were victims of fraud of one kind or another. Also, one Daytona North man had his underwear stolen from his home while he was in jail.
The following are reports from the www.myfcso.us:
Feb. 16
An elderly Palm Coast couple reported discovered the husband’s Social Security check had not been deposited in their checking account through direct deposit. Social Security officials told her a request had been received to deposit the amount onto a debit card. The card was then used in Miami Gardens.
Feb. 15
A Palm Coast man is out $20 after receiving change from a Palm Coast supermarket. The man told deputies he had purchased groceries and his change included several $20 bills. He said he left the bills in his wallet until the next day and when he went to pay for a purchase at a convenience store, the clerk refused to accept the money. Deputies said bill appeared to be counterfeit because the print was not clear and the paper was very thin.
Feb. 14
A Palm Coast resident reported his bank debit card had been fraudulently used after he lost it on Valentine’s Day. The victim told deputies he may have dropped the card in a convenience store parking lot. He was notified by the bank that there were six charges on the card, including charges made at Walmart and Pizza Hut.
Feb. 13
A Daytona North resident reported entry had been made to his home and the burglars made off with his underwear and other clothes. The victim told deputies he had recently been in jail and he was unsure when the burglary may have occurred, but it is believed to have happened sometime since Jan. 31.
