[NARRATIVE #1 on August 27, 2025]

On August 27, 2025, at approximately 3:51 PM, I made contact with [VICTIM #1] in reference to a report of fraudulent checks. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that between August 25 and August 27, 2025, unknown individuals attempted to use fraudulent checks to withdraw funds from his Fidelity IRA account.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] advised that personnel with Robins Financial Credit Union in Macon and Warner Robins observed suspicious features on the checks and notified his wife, [REDACTED], and him. Mr. [VICTIM #1] further stated that the financial institutions provided photographs of the suspects and also had video recordings of the individuals attempting to cash the checks.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] reported that four fraudulent checks were presented against his account:

Check #[REDACTED] in the amount of $6,000 made payable to [REDACTED].
Check #[REDACTED] in the amount of $8,000 made payable to [REDACTED].
Check #[REDACTED] in the amount of $6,623 made payable to [REDACTED].
Check #[REDACTED] in the amount of $5,023 made payable to [REDACTED].

Mr. [VICTIM #1] advised that the Fidelity Investments Fraud Team is actively investigating the matter. Fidelity’s Fraud Team, through contact person [REDACTED] [REDACTED BY AGENCY], also reported that several additional fraudulent checks were presented at other banks but were refused. Those checks include:

Check #[REDACTED] (Capital One Bank) to [REDACTED], $4,500.
Check #[REDACTED] (Capital One Bank) to Kentorious Lewis, $5,000.
Check #[REDACTED] (Discover Bank) to [REDACTED], $900.
Check #[REDACTED] (Citizens Bank) to [REDACTED], $5,000.
Check #[REDACTED] (loan stamp/illegible) to [REDACTED], $5,020.25.
Check #[REDACTED] (Regions Bank) to [REDACTED], $6,000.
Check #[REDACTED] (Schwab) to [REDACTED], $5,000.

According to Mr. [VICTIM #1], Fidelity previously closed the affected IRA account after multiple fraudulent attempts in July 2025, which included the following:

July 14, 2025 — Check #282.40, Credit One Bank.
July 15, 2025 — Check #362.53, Credit One Bank.
July 19, 2025 — Check #716.19, Concordia Bank.
July 21, 2025 — Check #1,652.61, Concordia Bank.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that the IRA account was closed and a new account was opened. A replacement checkbook had been mailed to his address, [100 BLOCK] Saddle Run Ct., Macon, GA 31210, but was never received. Mr. [VICTIM #1] believes the checkbook may have been stolen either from the post office in Macon, from the mail delivery route, or from his mailbox. He added that multiple attempts were then made to cash four checks in Macon using the stolen checks.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] submitted photocopies of the fraudulent checks to Robins Financial and advised that video footage of the suspects is available. He further stated that the names and addresses of the individuals who attempted to cash the checks could be obtained. Mr. [VICTIM #1] requested that a full investigation be conducted into the fraudulent activity, and he indicated he is willing to press charges against those involved.
