A 96-year-old great-grandmother was defrauded by her own great-
granddaughter in Missouri, authorities said.
Now, the 35-year-old great-granddaughter has pleaded guilty to a felony
count of bank fraud, according to a June 28 news release from the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri.
In her signed plea agreement, the St. Louis woman said she obtained her
great-grandma’s credit union account number and “personal identifying
information” sometime before Dec. 2, 2022.
She then added her cellphone number and email address to her great-
grandmother’s account, authorities said, and she got online access. The
account had a balance over $22,700 at the time.
“On Dec. 2, 2022, she transferred $2,000 to someone else,” authorities
said. “The next day, she opened an account for herself at the credit union
and began transferring her great-grandmother’s money to her account.”
>From Dec. 2 through Jan. 19, she withdrew $26,700, according to the plea
agreement. But on Jan. 6, authorities said she re-deposited $7,500,
leaving a loss of $19,200.
The woman’s defense attorney did not comment to McClatchy News regarding
the plea agreement or allegations.
Prosecutors and the defense have agreed to recommend a three-year prison
sentence in addition to restitution, according to the release.
