CROSSVILLE MAN LOSES OVER $15,000, PROMPTING FRAUD INVESTIGATION
On June 3, 2026, city units responded to the Crossville Police Department lobby regarding a potential fraud report. A man reported that he discovered a series of unauthorized purchases and Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit Activity transfers on his father’s Regions bank account. The son, who had been added to the account to assist his father following a recent dementia diagnosis, reviewed the account history with a bank manager and identified all fraudulent activity occurring between April 1, 2026, and June 1, 2026.
The unauthorized transactions consisted of five E-check purchases and five ACH transfers, resulting in a total loss of approximately $15,272.27. The son noted that neither he nor his father participate in online banking. Copies of the financial paperwork and contact information for the bank manager were provided to the police. While investigating the transactions, the son discovered a recurring name associated with the account, though there are no other known suspects at this time.
