BATON ROUGE — Two people have been arrested and a third remains at large in connection with a scheme that defrauded Neighbors Federal Credit Union of more than $150,000, WBRZ reported.
According to East Baton Rouge Parish records, Marvell Jackson, Ashana Webb, and Timothy Cannon have been identified as suspects in the case, which began in May.
Deputies with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said several Neighbors FCU accounts were compromised after scammers obtained members’ phone numbers and posed as credit union representatives. During the exchanges, members were tricked into revealing their online banking credentials, allowing the suspects to access the accounts and steal funds, WBRZ said.
Parish records said the scammers withdrew money from the accounts through ATMs, CashApp, Apple Cash and the teller window at L'Auberge Casino.
Jackson and Webb were booked for theft over $25,000, illegal transmission of monetary funds and bank fraud. Webb was arrested in East Baton Rouge Parish on Sept. 10. Jackson was detained and booked a month later.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Cannon.
