California Woman Admits Identity Theft And Bank Fraud Scheme
Zelpha Conyers, of Inglewood, California, pleaded guilty today to bank fraud and identity theft for making fraudulent withdrawals at Bank of America branches in Rhode Island and six other states. Conyers and two other Los Angeles area women were arrested in July after making withdrawals at several Bank of America branches in Rhode Island.
United States Attorney Robert Clark Corrente announced the guilty plea, which Conyers entered today before Chief U.S. District Court Judge Mary M. Lisi in U.S. District Court, Providence. The two other defendants, Patricia Moore, of Los Angeles, and Debbie Jolene Tucker, of Rialto, California, have pleaded guilty to participating in the withdrawals in Rhode Island.
At Conyer’s plea hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee H. Vilker said that the government could prove that, on July 11, Conyers, Moore, and Tucker drove to Bank of America branches in Cranston, East Providence, and North Providence. While Moore waited in the car, either Conyers or Tucker entered the bank branch, presented fake identification in the name of a real bank customer with a California address, and made or attempted to make a withdrawal. They successfully made about $10,800 worth of withdrawals at three branches.
After Tucker was unsuccessful in attempting a withdrawal at a branch in Cranston, the manager notified other branches of her suspicious activity. Read more at usdoj.gov.
