Bank Fraud Incidents at Well Fargo Branches

Provided by Sandy Springs Police Capt. Steve Rose 

On Nov. 4, a bank teller at a Wells Fargo branch on New Northside Drive said a car drove into the drive-through lane and the person wanted to cash a check for $3,000. She provided an Alabama license but the teller noticed she didn’t look like the person on the license. 

The woman also provided a Wells Fargo bank card as further proof of ID. The teller contacted the person on the account and found that the person knew nothing of this. The suspect figured the jig was up and drove off in a white car.

That same day at a branch on Roswell Road, a teller was presented a check for $1,265 by a man who said his name was Mr. Robinson. He, like the woman above, presented a Wells Fargo Bank Card. The teller thought the check looked suspicious. The person on the check was contacted who said he had not written a check to Mr. Robinson who, when he figured out things were going south, fled, leaving some personal items behind.
