MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man reported to police Sept. 30 that he noticed $14,000 had been withdrawn from his bank account, later discovering someone had applied for a new debit card using his information.
Upon checking his account before a mortgage withdrawal, the victim noticed that $8,500 was missing and called the bank to ask about the matter. He soon noticed another $5,500 had been withdrawn.
When the victim connected with the bank, an employee informed him that two transactions had been made in-person that day, using a new debit card in his name that had been requested weeks before. Neither the victim nor his wife requested a new card, police said.
The victim said he was told that the new card had been mailed to his home address, according to the police report, and that the card must have been stolen from the mailbox or while it was in transit.
