Two men have been charged with several financial felonies and misdemeanors after allegedly defrauding hundreds of Californians on public assistance, authorities said.
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES - 2020/02/17: Bank of America logo seen in Lower Manhattan. Florin Tanasa, 27, and Adam Nilsson, 30 have been accused of forming a "sophisticated financial criminal scheme" that targeted the state's "most vulnerable residents," Contra Costa officials said. Neither suspect has ties to the county or the Bay Area.
Tanasa and Nilsson are facing seven felonies including second-degree commercial burglary, grand theft, theft, forgery, and conspiracy. Their misdemeanor charges include possession and/or using a fraudulent scanning device. The pair was arrested on Dec. 1 at a Bank of America on Sycamore Avenue after bank officials contacted authorities about suspicious activity on cash withdrawals from EBT cards at their ATM.
Upon their arrest, Hercules police discovered 50 fraudulently cloned EBT cards, credit card skimming materials, and thousands in cash in their vehicle.
