Get on the ground. >> I don't care. Get on the ground. I don't care that you're scared. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> That stuff I'll have to take cuz you can't take that in the back of car. >> Yeah. >> This is decent but pretty clear fake. We see him all the time. The bank sees that stuff all the time. You can understand why they called. >> Please don't do this to me. Me. Please don't do this to me. You understand what I'm saying? I would tell you. >> Just take a seat, please. All right. >> I will tell you. I can't go. I can't go. They thought their plan to use someone else's identity was flawless. But little did they know, the police were 10 [music] steps ahead. Their schemes were uncovered and in the end they got exactly what they deserved when cops [music] busted the worst identity theft plot ever. >> Well, I didn't do anything, sir. Like, what the Listen, I'm I'm explain everything to >> I didn't even do anything. >> Yeah, no. Yo, guys, come on, man. I didn't do anything, guys. >> [music] >> On October 30th, 2025, police [music] in Port St. Lucy, Florida, were alerted to a fraud scheme in progress. The victim had been instructed to mail $20,000 by two scammers posing as Chase Bank employees. Acting quickly, officers went to the delivery address knowing the suspects, Jean Joseph Philippy Dorsina and Trey Michael Romans, would be expecting to collect the package. >> Hold on. Relax. Turn around, man. Stop playing, dude. I'm not trying to play. >> I've told you multiple times. I'm done playing the game, dude. >> I'm trying to understand what is going on. >> We'll explain everything to you. Here's the issue. When I'm coming up and you're going back inside the car and I can't see what you're doing inside the car, you're creating an issue for me and you're creating definitely creating an issue for you. >> I don't care. But you're creating an issue for yourself when you're going back inside the car when I'm telling you to come back out. I don't know what's in that car, right, man? You understand my perspective, right? Yes, sir. I have no idea what's in the car, and I don't know what you're reaching for. >> The scammers convinced the victim to withdraw $20,000 and ship it overnight through FedEx to [music] what he was made to believe was a secure location. After realizing something wasn't right, he contacted the police and with the help from [music] FedEx, the package was intercepted before delivery. From there, the officers spoke to the residents. >> I'm sure you guys have a million questions probably, right? So, I'm here to answer all of them. All right. So, I'm Detective Vargas. All right. Uh, that's Detective Singleton. He's the primary investigator. That's my supervisor with the gold in the back. >> All right. So, there was a package that was supposed to be delivered to to this specific address. [music] All right. Um, and from my understanding, well, from all of our understanding, that package was not uh was contraband. It was not supposed to be delivered. >> Okay. >> 1395s. >> As soon as as soon as that package is supposed to be delivered here. Okay, this car pulls up, passenger comes out of the vehicle um as soon as the package was set to be delivered. Okay. >> I don't we don't get mail here until between time 12 and 4, sir. So, so >> as far as like mail being delivered now here, Yeah. Yeah. I Yeah, I can tell you right now we we that that that we don't get mail here until 12 around 12:00 or 4 every day. >> Okay. So, you guys weren't set to get a package today around 9 this morning? Now, >> he as he asked me for a favor. I'm not I'm not going to lie. I I didn't I didn't ask much questions. >> Who Who asked you for a favor? >> Um um my man Pillow. He asked you for a favor. I don't know which one. >> The one that's over here. >> Yeah. I'm not I'm not sure what it was. >> Well, he just wrapped you up in some stuff that you probably don't want to be wrapped up in. >> He claimed he had no idea what was in the package, insisting he was just doing a favor for a friend by allowing it to be delivered there. But the officer wasn't convinced and suspected he knew more than he was letting on. Has he ever asked to do that before? >> No. Oh, no. No, no. >> Just one time. >> Text message, phone calls. How How did he uh How did he tell you about this favor? >> Um, he didn't tell, like I said, he didn't even go into specifics. He >> Yeah, but he's actually called. >> Say that again. >> Did he text you or call you? >> No, he called me. He called me. >> He called you. How long ago? Was just a phone call. >> This had been like like last night. He's asking me, like I said, he's asking for a favor. I said, >> "What time last night?" >> I don't know. Had it had been like maybe 7, 8. >> Do you have that phone call? just like the log of that call >> when again we can go somewhere else man if you don't feel comfortable. Uh >> no no not that's my house. That's all good. >> And you was just here today. >> Yeah I was just >> you just like what the hell is going on? >> I walk outside. >> He called me outside. >> Oh no. There's there's there's lot right now in the area. They're just closing it all for us. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He called me he called me about like 6:20 last night. >> What's his name on on on your your phone? >> No. No. He he hates he he he hates him. So yeah, you know, I call him Z F night, you know, as my Z, you know, stuff like that. >> Okay. No, no. >> Do you mind if I just verify the number? >> Yeah. Yeah, >> that's all. I'm not going to call. I'm not going to do anything else. I'm just literally just going to verify the number. >> The package was supposed to have been delivered that day at 9:00 a.m. Officers positioned themselves near the address, staying undercover as they waited for whoever came to collect it. As they gathered more background, they also learned the resident and suspects had been at school together. >> But it was a it was a mis call though. >> Who called you? >> I thought I missed it. >> So when did he call you last night? I just need to see that one. >> Yesterday I I'm not trying to bully you, man. >> Yeah, he call um this last call on the Yeah. Yeah. Bathroom. In the last call I got from it said 6:20 p.m. It was one It was going on at night. So >> 6:20 p.m. And then you got incoming at 6:20 p.m. which was only 20 seconds. >> I think I think I might have Oh, I might have been asleep >> when he called back. I'm I'm I was sleeping. Um I think I got >> Did you get any text messages with with both y'all? >> You're a little hesitant now. >> I just deleted it. >> You deleted it? Did >> you just deleted it? >> I just saw you swipe. >> Say it again. >> I just saw you swipe and delete it. Just go to your your recent delete then. >> I do. >> I'll show you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. See? >> Yeah. You just deleted it, brother. >> You mind if I find it? Well, you said his name is Z, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Hey, since you allowed me to see your phone, okay, I just asked you to confirm with you. I'm seeing stuff that is considerably illegal. All right, so from now I'm going to be taking your phone just so you're aware. >> He really handed his phone straight over to the officer, incriminating himself in the process. He tried to shift the blame onto his friend, claiming it was all his scheme, but that defense didn't hold up for long. >> I think we need to put the one in red in handcuffs because he's texting. What's going on, man? How you doing? >> So, you he talked to you already? >> Who? >> Uh, the other detective? >> Yeah, it's supposed to. >> Okay. So, you understand why we're here? >> Um, yeah. He told me there's something that was being delivered here or something like that. I don't >> You don't know anything about that? Is that something you guys normally do in the morning? >> Not really typical. I haven't seen I seen Max what two weeks ago. I came and I seen the chicken bigger dude. >> Okay. >> I don't know what's going on right now. I'm so serious. You called him yesterday, >> huh? >> Called him yesterday for that. >> Uh, last night we spoke. No, not last night. Yesterday morning he actually had called me and I never called him back and I spoke to him. >> Then he called him afterwards. >> But he called you. You didn't answer. You called [music] him back. >> Yeah, I called him back. >> And then you guys talked about it. >> Yeah. >> How long was that conversation for? >> Like 5 minutes cuz I was I was in and out. I was in shopping with my brother-in-law. >> Story you going to stick with >> me? Like I don't I don't know like what you want me to say. Like I'm not lying to you. Y >> I didn't do anything, sir. Like, what the Listen, >> I'm I'm explain everything. >> I didn't even do anything. >> Their stories weren't lining up, and the officer had every reason to believe he was involved. What started as a scheme by two novice scammers was quickly unfolding into something much bigger. And judging by the house and cars out front, the scams have been paying off. >> What the y'all saying about my name? This is not my phone. This is not my phone. >> I just saw >> I just grabbed all my phones in my in my car. Literally >> your phones or your phone? >> No, I said I said all my phones. All the phones that was in the car. I literally put them in my pocket. Same. >> I just saw you on the phone. >> I was texting. >> I saw you on that phone. >> I was not on that phone. That's not even my phone. I'm not being Bro, come Yo, what the is doing, bro? Come on, bro. Bro, come on, bro. What the yall doing, bro? >> Why y'all lying on my name, bro? Come on, Max. What the going on, bro? >> Bro, I didn't have to I didn't, bro. What What the is going on? Officers later learned the scam was tied to a larger operation run by a man known only as three. Trey wasn't just linked [music] to the fraud. After a search of his car, he was also charged with possession of marijuana. >> We're in handcuffs again because we have reason to believe that you guys came here to pick up a package that had some stuff that was not that does not belong to y'all. I woke up, >> you know, we confirmed that's not true, but >> Jean Joseph Philippy Dorsina and Trey Michael Romans were taken to the station for questioning. Gan refused to cooperate while Trey provided critical information about the scheme. He was charged with possession of marijuana, grand theft, [music] and scheme to defraud. The case is ongoing. On August 8th, 2025, officers were called after a man named Mark, who tried to deposit a million dollar check to an account he opened using a fake ID. When he returned to follow up the status of his deposit, the cops were called. But before they could get there, Mark had already left. However, he was eventually spotted at a nearby gas station. >> Out here, out here. Out here now. >> Outside. >> Hold up. I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Inside. Speed boy. >> On the ground. On the ground. I'll pop you. >> I'mma light you up. I didn't tell you. >> You move. I'mma light you up. >> Sir, I didn't. >> Get on the ground. >> For what? >> Get on the ground. >> I told you why. >> Get on the ground. >> I want to know. Why are you What? What? Get on the ground now. >> What did I do? >> Get on the ground, >> sir. I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. >> I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. >> Down. Get lit up. >> I didn't do anything. Why are you >> You hear me? Minute you move, you get popped. >> Why are you going to pop me? I didn't >> You move. Go to that door. >> I don't understand what you >> get on the ground. >> I don't What did I do, sir? >> The bank. You know what I'm talking about. Get on the ground. >> What about it? >> Get on the ground. >> I don't know what you're saying about that. Officers learned that Mark had already tried to deposit the million-dollar check through the [music] app a week prior, but he was unsuccessful. That was why he tried his luck in person instead. Suspicious, the bank flagged it and [music] informed him that the funds were not immediately available and put it on hold. >> I don't understand what's going on. So, you're not telling me what's going on. You're just coming up to me. >> I'm telling you to get on the ground. That's what I'm telling you. You're not doing it. Huh? >> You're getting on the ground or I'm going to pop. >> But I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground. >> But sir, I don't know what you're talking about. No way. >> Get on the ground. The second you move, you're getting popped. Do you understand that? >> Okay. I'm >> Do you understand that? >> But sir, what do you I don't even understand. >> Sir, move out the way. >> I don't understand what you're even What's going on? >> I just told you what's going on. But man, get on the ground. >> Okay. >> You know what? >> What's your name? What's your name? >> Your name's not great. Mark opened the account and attempted to cash the check using the name and ID Greg Cooper. But after he first tried to deposit the check in person, the workers used facial recognition software, which confirmed his true identity. >> Sir, I have no idea what he's talking about. >> Get on the ground. >> And I fear. >> Get on the ground. >> Why are you >> I don't care. Get on the ground. I don't care that you're scared. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> I have no idea why. >> Get on the ground. >> I didn't do anything. >> Get on the ground. I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. >> Take it down. >> Are you recording? >> Get on the ground. I'm recording. >> Watch your pocket. Pocket. >> You're going to get tased. You understand? The officer warned Mark multiple times that he would be tased if he didn't comply, but he still stood his ground. It was a risky and stupid move. as other officers stepped in and were able to bring him to the ground safely. ID on the outside. >> Well, he identified himself as Craig Cooper. >> Mark had gone to the bank that day to ask why the money hadn't been put in his account yet. One of the officers returned to the bank where Mark had tried to cash the check to inform the staff that he'd been caught. >> You called in about the We >> Oh, we got Yeah. Yeah, we got cuffed. Thank you. >> No, he was saying he walked out of online banking and that he had called customer service and they told him to come in here and to see why it seemed he can get it unlocked. >> Did he present you this? >> Yeah. And then what or what made him want to leave? >> The wait usually when we have someone that's impersonating I mean he waited longer than normal than others. >> How long would you say give or take? He waited probably 10, 15 minutes. >> When Mark initially tried to deposit the check a week earlier, the bank led him to believe he would receive the money. In truth, they wanted to investigate the issue first and notify the police. Back in the parking lot, the cops interviewed Mark. >> Hello, Mark. My name is Jason. I'm Deputy CLman County Sheriff's Office. So, I'm the one who originally took the report at Mid Florida Bank when you came up here uh beginning of August. Uh, you have that business account, Cooper Legacy Builders. Um, you had that $1 million check. And so I'm I'm I'm the one who went to the bank. I IDed you. We saw you on camera. The bank IDed you, that Washington driver's license that you have and everything. So, the reason that I'm talking to you right now is is I just want I just want to know what why why were you doing that? Like, >> do you need the money? Are you in trouble in any way? >> I mean, a million dollars is a lot of money. I'm sorry. >> I don't I can't. >> Can't say too much. I mean, do you do you owe people money? >> I just I personally I've never seen a check that big. So, I just I just want to know what you're going you're swinging through the fence first time. The officer was trying to find out why he had tried to deposit such a huge sum, suspecting Mark could have been in deep financial trouble or possibly owed someone money, but he didn't say much, leaving it open to interpretation. >> It's out of the ordinary, which kind of raised a red flag, which is why I wanted to talk to you. Right. You're not you're not trying to do $100 here, you know, pay off $1,000 loan shark or something, right? A million dollars is that's huge. He's being a little greedy with a million or what? >> What's that? >> I'm not sure. >> Just Matt made a bad decision today or the other day, >> huh? >> That would probably be good. >> All right. And that's fine. People make, you know, people make mistakes. I'm not saying, you know, you're not a you're not a bad guy. You know what I mean? I can't even see your eyes. You got got your shades on, but you don't you don't seem like a bad dude. >> When the officers asked him who Greg Cooper was, Mark said he didn't know. And after searching for his real name in the police database, the officers found out that Mark had a history of check fraud. >> Um, so June 18th, he assumes the identity of Greg Cooper um out of Florida. He go gets a Washington driver's license with Greg's name, a random address, but his photo. >> Same day on the 18th, he opens up a business account called Cooper Legacy Builders. >> Uh, and he also opens a business account with Mid Florida. >> Okay. >> If it was August 8th, sometime in the first week of August, >> uh, he has negative $1 in his business account. >> This guy? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> And he comes in to this bank and tries to deposit a $1 million check. They thought it was kind of funny, so they said, "We're going to hold the check." >> And so they they call us. Um, we get the report. They have them on on camera using the the Washington ID, so fake ID. >> Mark was arrested and charged with uttering a false instrument, schemed to defraud more than $50,000, possessing a similitude ID and ID with an altered date of birth, and using another person's ID without consent. [music] The case is still pending. On April 29th, 2025, officers in Sandy Springs, Georgia were called to a bank over a suspected fraud. The branch manager reported a woman identified as 34year-old Juel Tindle trying to open a checking account using someone else's identification. >> You got a couple real quick? >> Sure. >> All right. Can we just go over here? >> Yeah. >> This is your stuff right here? >> Yes. >> Is that your car right there? >> No. >> Can I use this office real quick? >> Sure. Am I being detained or something? >> Yeah, you Why >> is this? What? What is your name? >> My name is right there in my ID. >> Yeah, I know. You tell me your name. >> What is your name, ma'am? >> That's my name right there. >> Yeah. What was your name? >> Excuse me. Can I make Can I make a call? >> No, you can't make a call. >> Please don't. Okay. Okay. All right. You understand? >> Okay. >> Okay. So, you're not making a call. >> Okay. >> Put your hand behind bath, please. >> Excuse me. Please don't give me I don't want to hurt you. >> Please don't hurt me. >> Okay. Give me a hand. Give me a hand. Give me your hand. Let me make a call to my camera. >> We can do that afterwards, right? >> Asking someone's name is a pretty straightforward question. When she couldn't give a direct answer, that hesitation immediately raised red flags. At the very least, she should have learned the name of the person whose identity she was trying to steal. >> You know who this? >> I was trying to ask you a simple question. >> I'll tell you who sent me in here. Please. I'll tell you. Please. I can't go through this. >> Listen, [laughter] listen. I got somebody I'm going through something and I got I can't go through this. >> Okay. >> I can't go through this right now. Do you not understand this? I cannot go through this right now. Do you understand what I'm saying to you? >> No, we will get there, though. Just Just take a seat. I will tell you. We We can do that right now. >> I will tell you. I will tell you. If you work with me, I will tell you. I will tell you. Please. I can't go in. I cannot go in. I will tell you. >> All right. >> You understand what I'm saying? I will tell you. >> Just take your seat off, please. All right. I will tell you I can't go. I can't go. Can I please call my mother? Can I please call my mother? >> You're not understanding what's going on with me. I can't go through this. >> Immediately, Juel turned on the waterworks. Except no actual tears were shed. She was clearly trying to manipulate the officer, but did she really expect that he would just let her go with no consequences? >> Do not get out of that. Do not >> Don't do this to me. going to me. Please don't do this to me >> right now. You stay detained. >> I know. I don't want to be detained. I will tell you everything. Please. Do not. If you fall out of then you'll be going to jail. >> Please don't. I don't want to go to jail. You just let me go. Please turn this way. >> Can I tell you something? Can I tell you [music] something? Between me and you. >> I know you don't care about me. >> I just [laughter] want you to know something. I'm in danger. And if something happened to me, I can't go to jail. Somebody [ __ ] took my ma'am. >> Give me a rest. >> You don't have no idea what's going on with me. Can you let me just call my mother so she can get my >> Let you make a phone call, but right now I need you to calm down. Okay. >> Understand what's going on with me. You have no idea what's going on with me. You have no idea. >> You have small bre. Good lord. >> I have no idea what's going on with me. Can I call my mother? I want my daughter safe. >> We can handle all that for you. Okay. If he's seen y'all come in, something's going to happen in my head. >> I need you to do one thing right now. Just breathe. >> I can't breathe. I can't breathe. >> So, you don't have no idea what's happening with me. If you could control this situation, if you have any control over the situation, please help me. [laughter] >> Just take a seat. Take a seat. You just don't have no idea. I need to make a call. Please, I need my mother. As more officers arrived on scene, [music] they tried to bring the situation under control. A bank worker then stepped in to run the officers through the incident, explaining how Juul had attempted the transaction and what [music] caused them to become suspicious. >> So, she was trying to use somebody's account. >> She was trying to open an account with somebody else's social >> that already has an account here. >> Well, I don't they don't have an account. where money is. That's my >> I need I need to make a call to my mother. Could you >> We will We won't let you do that. But right now, >> baby, >> listen. >> My child, >> where is your child right now? >> How old is your child? >> My poor baby. >> Your child is going to be okay. >> So, you guys ran the social? >> Well, security. >> Yeah. >> But corporate security ran the social. >> Yeah. >> And it came back with a middle name. >> And what's her name? Adriana, >> I can't go to jail. I'm on probation and I can't go to jail. I'm such a bad mother. Yo, she just went to promo Friday. My poor baby. I want to see cross that stage. >> Oh god. >> What's your mom's name in here? >> At that point, it wouldn't have been surprising if the officer was already having a headache. Still, he handled Jules's tantrum with steady composure, even though she pushed his patience to the limit. >> I'm sorry. >> Oh, >> you can just uncip it. It just like it's like a button. >> I like this. >> Come on outside. Roll the windows down so you disappear. >> Okay, just letting you know you are under arrest. >> Okay, [laughter] but I just need to read something to you before you start talking again. Okay. >> Juel exercised her right and refused to answer the officer's questions without having a lawyer present. But it didn't stop her from causing a scene and ramping up the theatrics. Her behavior grew more dramatic, making the situation even more chaotic. >> What's your injury? We need to let the ambulance know. [laughter] >> You're all right. I want y to me. Please. >> I just want y I'm just a person. >> I was disappointed. um going to be open. >> She leaned heavily into playing the victim, but the real victim was the person she was trying to scam out of money. And while her concern for her daughter was valid, why wasn't the same concern there before she made the choices that led her into this situation, >> I just want to run so you can me. I don't want to >> sit down. [laughter] Sit down. >> You're all right. You're okay. I got to keep going through all of this. I just want to have a good life. >> I can't cuz every time I try >> I look back and I don't never feel like I >> swear to God I try. >> I know. >> I swear to God I tried. >> My daughter, she graduated. >> She graduated three weeks. I'm the only parent she got. >> Okay. >> What's the reason for all this? Everything. >> I know. >> I don't get why. >> Juel complained that her fingers were hurting. But when they asked if she wanted to go to the hospital, she declined. Given her behavior up until this point, it came across as more theatrics than a real issue. >> It's okay. It's not the end of the world. This ain't, you know, some crazy crime. Don't do that. Don't do that. >> I wish it was something I can do through the chicken. >> You can like it. >> You can. You're going to be all right. Okay. Just take some breath. [laughter] Just breathe. Okay. >> Just breathe. >> She got money in here. >> Yeah. That's a whole lot in there. >> I count it. >> Yeah, you can. The officer counted the money Juel had in her possession and it came out to $2,167. In the end, she was arrested and transported to the Smeirna City Jail where she was booked for fraud. [music] On May 9th, 2024, officers responded to a bank after a woman named Lisa tried to withdraw $6,000 from another person's checking account using a stolen ID. But the bank staff already knew what she was doing, so they discreetly called 911. >> I didn't do it. They didn't do it. >> Okay. >> So, man, what's going on today? >> Making a withdrawal. Yeah. >> Okay. >> You're going to have to Yeah. You're going to have to hang tight with us for a little bit. Figure some things out. Okay. >> Okay. >> You want to just chat with her for a minute. We'll >> still >> Okay. >> What's going on? >> Nothing. I'm just making a withdrawal. >> Can I see your license? >> Yeah. Oh, he has it still. He does have it. Get it back to me. >> Where are you making a withdrawal from? >> From checking accounting out. >> Is it yours? >> Yeah. Okay. >> I just don't understand what is going on. >> What's your name? >> My name is I just don't understand what's going on here. >> We'll find out what's >> really But I don't understand like everything. >> The officer asked her for her name three times, but each time she deflected, talking around the question without ever giving a straight response for officers. That kind of avoidance was a major red flag. A clear sign that she wasn't being honest about who she was. >> Where you from? Well, I'm I live in my mom. I Well, I just moved to and I living out here for a while, but um I just don't Can you just tell me what's going on? I don't understand. >> I called this customer. She says she's not in the branch. So, this person's trying to take money out of her account. And this is our actual customer and she This is not on our system that says her wallet was stolen. >> Okay. I think we uh we know what's going on. >> Okay. I live in Auburn, Mass. >> Auburn, what are you doing in >> Well, I mean, I'm planning funerals, so I was trying to >> for what? where my uncle died. I'm >> sorry about that. >> Yeah, it's really bad. And I was just playing that. And >> Were you drinking at all today? >> No, I wasn't drinking at all today. >> No drugs? >> No. >> The officer suspected she was under the influence. Her words were slightly slurred and her behavior seemed off. With that in mind, he called his lieutenant at the station to explain the situation. >> Were you trying to take money out from your account or someone else's account? >> From mine. >> From yours? >> Nope. >> Is there a reason why there'd be some type of confusion here? >> No, I don't understand. before I don't get it. >> All right. So, you're the where Auburn? >> Yeah. >> And you're planning a funeral out here? >> No, I was just I just happen to be out here. >> Where's your vehicle? >> Over there. >> Over there. >> All right. So, right now you're under arrest for Okay. So, just turn around. >> Sorry, I dropped your horse. so you know what's going on. So, just so you know, just read her Miranda here. Just come over here. All right, let's turn around. >> You could tell from Lisa's reaction that she knew that she'd been busted and there was no point putting the innocent and clueless act on anymore. And after doing some more investigating, officers found that it wasn't her first runin with the law. >> Uh, we're going to be going to the Brooklyn Police Department. Okay. So, just hang tight for a little bit. So, what's your name? At this point, you have to provide me with this information or it's a crime and I don't want to have to charge you more stuff. >> Where are you from, Lisa? >> In where? >> Portland. >> Portland. Portland, Maine. Okay. >> I can't let you do that right now. Okay. Sorry. Bank workers had called the actual owner of the checking account and [music] explained what had happened. The account holder told him that she'd had her license stolen just the day before, which added another layer to the story. >> Thanks for coming. So, here I was, like I said, when I came in, my adrenaline was up here cuz it came in at first like a robbery. >> Yeah. I was like, that's what I said. I'm like, why is he just standing there looking at her like >> what's happening? I wanted to make sure I was going after the right person, too. All righty. Well, thank you. >> No problem. >> Thank you. This is how this will go. You be good with us, we'll be good with you. Okay. There's a there's a needle here. There's another one. What do you use? Okay. [snorts] >> So, not only had Lisa stolen someone's ID, she'd also tried to withdraw $6,000 from the victim's account, and she had class A drugs. As questions [music] continued, she began revealing more details, pointing to a much larger scam operation than they initially thought. >> Do you know who you got wrapped up with? >> Yeah. I've known for a few years, and I didn't. >> Wait, you've known him for a few years? [music] What's his name? >> MJ. MJ. So, we've dealt with these guys. Do you know the name of what they go by? >> Well, no. MJ? >> No. No. But do you know the group that he's a part of? >> No, not yet. But I kind of know the name of >> I know the name of the group. >> No, I bet you do. So, there's a bunch of them. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And >> And they come from like way down south. >> Yeah. And he's got people in >> Do you remember the name of it? >> No. >> You don't remember the name of it? >> No. It's bad. >> Dude, what you got wrapped up in, you could get diarrhea. >> Yeah. Are they me? >> No. Well, I don't I No. No. I don't know him like that. I don't know him like that. Like they pray on the fact that like you don't have money and that like you >> and he knows me. He knows I'm down like with selling drugs when I'm down with this. Like this sucks, >> dude. It's a big crime. >> It turned out Lisa have been caught up with an organized crime group known as the Felony Lane Gang. They recruit people, often drug addicts and homeless people, [music] across the country, to conduct smash and grab thefts where they steal IDs and checkbooks. >> Put on this big black wig with curly hair. I'm going this is dumb. So, I put makeup on and like and I got this big wig on. >> Yeah. >> This big wig. It's like this. The hair is like this long. It's like Oh, yeah. So, I'm in the bank. >> Is that one in the car, too? >> No. Yeah, it should be in the car. So, >> I can't wait to see. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Um, complaints they put on that car. >> Yeah, >> they put it on before I left. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. She was pushing me about my about my >> Did you see that thing? >> I didn't until I until I saw it. I was like, "Oh my god." >> Off of eBay. >> The one I was rolling the joint on the night before. I'm like I'm like, "You're putting that on?" I'm like, "Oh my god." >> Yeah. It's a It's like an eBay fake plate. Like you don't >> Lisa seemed far too comfortable sitting in the cell, chatting away to the officer like they were exchanging gossip, not realizing she was only incriminating herself further. And beyond the bank scam, her car also had a very obvious fake license plate [music] attached to it. >> Honestly, I'm just like from your hands and stuff like I can tell you probably abused for a little bit. >> I haven't shot them. I I should have here. I was going to say I saw a couple play. Is it just cuz you you probably have like that? >> I quit for like eight years, but I started playing a couple years ago. >> What about What about like did I get legs done too? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Um I'm going to talk to my lieutenant. >> It sounds like they did give you bail, but it's 2540. So 2540. >> Oh my god. Obviously, it's not in your best interest to contact these people to have them talk. >> So, I'm going to talk to my lieutenant after I talk to you. I'm going to let him know that don't don't lose it on me, Lisa. You do. So, it's okay. It's okay. It is. Listen, I'm going to make sure you have food. I want to make sure you have a place. You're going to call your boyfriend once we get through with this. Okay, I'm going to call my lieutenant. I'm going to let the DA know that you I need to nail these guys to the wall. That's why I want to talk to you. >> Up until that point, Lisa hadn't seemed to be the least bit worried. But as soon as she heard the bail cost, the tears came. Meanwhile, Lisa called her boyfriend to tell him what had happened. >> Cody, >> I'm right here. >> Cody, she's right here. But >> you done, dude. >> Are you serious? >> No, dude. Really? You do that? You had money. Why are you doing stupid? >> No, that's not fine. Well, what do you want me to say? I'm sitting in the [ __ ] chair, sitting inside station, and you're screaming at me. I'm trying to tell you I'm sorry I got arrested. >> Don't leave me. Please don't do that right now. Please don't. Please don't. Please don't. Please don't. This is so up. Sorry. In the end, Lisa was charged with grand lararseny, stolen identification, stolen credit cards, and drug possession, all felony charges. She posted bail the next day and went on the run. A warrant was issued for her arrest, and the case is ongoing. On December 16th, 2025, TSA called the police after a man identified as Quaon attempted to pass through an airport checkpoint with 14 forged IDs. It's a bold move in any situation, but especially in an airport. >> Do you know what's with all the IDs? >> They I forgot. I was supposed to get rid of them and they just in the bag. So, >> why what do you like What do you have for >> They're They're old. I don't even use them anymore. I just They were I just had them I grabbed the luggage and they were in there. I didn't take the time to take my clothes on top of the stuff that was in there and I just took the bag. Hopefully, my boyfriend needed me to come somewhere. So, that's where I was going. Where are you finding something? >> Um, so different. That's my name. >> Which uh are they all you? Are they all somebody else? Like what? Like what's >> the picture is leaning back >> different? >> So what's your name? >> My name? >> Yeah. >> It's what? >> Quan. >> Quan. >> Quan claimed to have his real ID, which he said was the same name as the one on his boarding pass. But when he was trying to go through airport security, he was stopped for having a stack of forged IDs in his luggage. All with his picture, but with different names. >> So now these match up to you? >> Yeah. No, I have my real ID. >> Oh, you have your real ID? >> I just use my ID to get in. >> Yeah. Can we see that? So we have to >> Is that what the boarding pass is under? >> Yes, that's my name. >> Okay. I just want to make sure. any other stuff like that in the uh bag or >> that was a I mean I don't even I didn't even know what it for to be honest. So >> well we got to call my boss and then we'll we'll go from there. All right. >> Okay. So I'm going to miss my flight. >> What time is your flight leave? >> 550. >> It's possible. I'm not sure. >> I just never seen that before. Like >> what's that? >> Like you tell they telling me one thing and then you take something out of my bag. I told you my stuff said it was a sharp object in the bag. I told you it was needles. >> Yeah. I'm not sure how they came across the stuff. >> Yeah, me neither. I'm completely confused. >> What they say, >> dude? >> Yeah. So, we'll we'll gather up all your stuff and we'll head downstairs. We can talk more and nobody. >> That's fine. >> All right. Do you have a boarding pass? >> A boarding pass? >> Yeah. >> Can we get the other luggage? all his luggage. >> I got it. >> He explained that he had needles in his bag, which is the reason he initially thought his bag had been flagged by security. He claimed they were insulin needles that he needed to carry with him because he was diabetic. >> All right. So, we're just going to go downstairs. Okay. Going to go to our office. >> What's that? >> Yeah, we're good. >> Any other luggage? Did you check any other luggage or check luggage? >> Okay. Just a carryon. Here. H >> I can take your stuff, right? Cuz we're when we go downstairs. Oh, >> you want my phone? >> Yeah, I'll take all your stuff cuz when we go downstairs, I'm going to I got to put you in our uh office. >> Oh, well, we can do that when we get down. >> So, what's the process once I get downstairs, you said? >> So, we got to call our own boss and then we're going to go from there. All right. >> Okay. You ever been arrested before for anything? N >> this way. >> Are you aware if you have any warrants out right now? >> Um I don't believe I do. >> Let's stop right there. >> So everything that you have on you, I'll take the phone and the bags in your pockets. >> So let's just let's just be clear for one for one thing before you take my bag. I do have um $7,000 in cash in here. >> Okay. I'm just making sure >> everything's going to be in sight. I'm not I'm not >> Yep. >> While carrying $7,000 is not illegal, it is still a large sum of money to be carrying around in your pocket. Mix that with a bunch of fake IDs and social security cards. It could easily hint at a potential financial fraud scheme. >> Anything I can take the headphones? Anything in your pockets here? You want to stand up? I just turn around there. Good stuff. So, you can have it. Oh, >> you give me my ID back. >> Uh, yeah. We we we got all we got all your stuff here. >> So, you're being detained right now. >> Okay. >> Well, are you willing to answer questions? That's what he's asking. >> I mean, well, it depends on what you're asking. >> Oh, yeah. I'm going to put everything right here. Well, it's it all depends on like that's why he's reading you your rights. If you're willing to answer questions that we ask you, that's all it's up to you. >> So, yes or >> Well, mainly it's going to be about the social security cards, the ID. So, >> okay. This is that >> that's my debit card is in there as well. >> Okay. [snorts] >> The same exact look at my ID, you have the same exact address. >> Okay. Okay. 52289 on 51591. That's my That's my parents first time. >> Does he know he you have his uh >> Yes, he knows. >> I have his debit card as well. >> Okay. >> Is it okay if I just take everything else out of here? Just a little. So, why would you ask? >> So, I was just asking if [snorts] it's okay. So, this is this is him right here. Okay. This is And then you said that's your brother. >> Born the same month, different years apart. Yeah. It wasn't clear why he'd had his brother's ID and debit card, but that raised more suspicions. Possessing someone else's identification can carry serious legal consequences, and having multiple documents like Quaan did only made the case more serious. >> No, that's why that's why I was a little confused, but I'm not I mean, I'm not real. >> What' they tell you? >> He told me he was looking for a sharp object. So, I he asked me, "Is there anything in there?" I said I have insulin because I'm diabetic. So I travel with my insulin. I had the needles in there. >> That's what I told you. Like you start coming through papers. >> So give me a hard time. Every airport's different. Like I can't take it. So I use my >> You said you weren't willing to talk to us, answer our questions. How did you come about the uh social security cards? >> What' you say? >> How'd you come about them? Like, did you find them? Did you make them? Did you >> I mean, did I find them? Did I make them? I'm [laughter] Yeah. I don't that I don't I'm not I don't even know. I'm not >> Oh, okay. Okay. These If he just had them, we didn't try using them. But these he had them. Yeah. Yeah. So, I I don't know what So, >> hold on. Wait. What? What? No, you're you're in possession of real social security cards, but you're also in possession of fake IDs. >> The officers pressed him further about the social security cards in his [music] bag, but he just kept saying the IDs were not meant to be in there, but wouldn't actually answer the question of how or why he had them in the first place. To make matters worse, more IDs were found in his suitcase. Another one. >> Oh, yeah. Do you know how many you have exactly? >> I've honestly like to be honest, I just grabbed that bag to go to put my stuff in. You see just literally came out of the dryer. I just threw it in here. That's what I did. >> All right. >> It is the warrants are confirmed. >> Okay. So, warrant. [music] >> Yeah. They have warrants with other police departments. They want to they want to talk to you. >> Police [music] department >> city of Albany in Gilder. >> Oh, I know that that's about that's about like not Paris. >> Oh, okay. >> City, but I haven't worn it before. >> I'm not sure. >> That's got to be like some ticket or I can't be that serious. >> When did these warrants or something? >> I'm not sure. I just uh they said your name matches them so they want to talk to you. >> They want to show up for me. >> Yeah, we have both police departments. They need to either get with you in person or so that I think that they going to say what they always say. It's not me. >> Well, yeah. So, we haven't reached out to them yet. That's all. But it just said >> it's it's one of those things where cuz in the system it shows like, hey, reach out to this police department. They may want to speak with you. They have open case or something going on. >> Yeah, that was like a probation thing. I paid a deficiency already had warrants from other police departments. The charges were stacking up and it just kept getting worse and worse for him. >> Yeah. He said start possession on the forged. >> Okay. So, all right. So, our our sergeant's going to come down. We're going to do some paperwork with you. >> All right. >> I'll tell you what. >> I thought uh so >> just so is he going to get charged with it? >> I think so. Yeah. Sorry. It sounds like you will get charged with the uh social security cards. >> Okay. >> And after that, we have to contact Albany and Gildlin to see if they want to talk to you. >> In the end, Quayan was taken into custody and charged with 14 counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree. It was a serious list of felony offenses that could likely see him locked up in jail for many years. On August 26th, 2025, officers were called to a car dealership after an 18-year-old girl named LA tried to buy a luxury car using a fake ID. She seemed to think she could walk in, purchase the $54,000 car, and leave without raising any suspicion, but it didn't take long for the staff to see the red flags. >> So, we got her just sitting in there. Oh, >> okay. Just a quick rundown. So, she gave us a credit app. She had trouble filling out her information. sign on the back. Her name is Emily. Signed it with a second E and the name >> came in saying she wanted >> like at the beginning. >> Yeah. No, it's Emily and then instead of just L Y E L Y and that's not how her name is on the license. She just has like a temp license. Um she said she wanted a 450 payment. Wasn't sure if she'd get approved. Showed her a $1,200 payment. She signed right away. We looked up the address. Doesn't line up. She says she's in Cincinnati, >> works at Cleveland Clinic. Nothing. She got dropped off. She said random. I mean, didn't call in about the car and it's a Range Rover. So, >> you guys have her license? >> I have the temp license in there. You want to go buy her or do you want to go around? >> I just want to see the license. Maybe I can run it and see. >> Lala walked in attempting to buy a Range Rover right off the bat with little to no knowledge about the person she was trying to pose as. And the situation only became more obvious when she couldn't even spell the name on the license correctly. >> We pulled her credit. We asked her if she had any previous car loans. We could see what she did. She said no. >> Huh. But does a picture on her look like? >> No. Because it's been like >> Yeah. >> Huh. [music] And obviously that doesn't really match that >> unless she signed it again here with the second. >> Then we asked her just simple questions about her credit [music] report like previous auto loan. She didn't she didn't know she had one or not. This is a $54,000 loan she had before. And she's from there. She says she works at the Cleveland Clinic in [music] Cleveland. It's a 216. Then look where she got this at. Right over in LA. >> Where's Mason? >> That's Cincinnati. the identified Cincinnati. >> Where's she saying she's living now? >> She says she's lived here 3 years [music] and 3 months. >> But you can see here she almost screwed up that. >> Was she looking at her license when she's filling us out at all? >> So my sales guy, >> my sales guy said that he has making a copy of this. So he had it with her and she was struggling to fill this part out without the input. While filling out the paperwork, it became clear something wasn't right, and the logistics around where she supposedly lived and worked didn't make [music] sense. Those inconsistencies raised immediate concerns. >> There. >> Hello. >> Can you guess why I'm here today? >> Um, >> can you guess? >> Yeah, no idea. Okay. Um, Yeah, folks. They're telling me, and you can tell me this is >> true. Where do you live right now? >> Um, >> look at this. Where do you live? >> I live on >> Cleveland. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have a real ID on you? >> No, not right now. No, it's not yours. >> Um, not at the moment. I don't have my ID, but I do have my driver's license. >> What's your name? >> Lala. >> Okay, LA. Stand up. Put your hands behind your back. >> So, you know that piece of paper that you made up? You know, it says >> she had told the workers that her name was Emily when trying to buy the vehicle, but when speaking with the officers, she admitted her name was La. Even then, she didn't seem to understand the seriousness of her situation or even realized she'd committed a huge crime. Read that. Did you read the forgery part? >> Yes. >> Okay. And it says there Do you have anything on here that's illegal? >> No. >> Anything sharp, dangerous? >> No. >> Drugs? >> No. >> Weapons or anything like that? >> Nope. >> Okay. >> All right. Anything else besides your phone? >> Nope. >> No. Okay. I'll be right back in mind. Someone would mind waiting around. I know you guys are closing to go home like that. All right. We're going to walk right out these doors here. You stand right by this front tire for me. Why you out here with that fake license? >> It wasn't even my idea, bro. Somebody >> So, whose idea was it? What were they trying to do? >> I guess they were trying to put a card, get a car down and just keep it or whatever. But I told them I don't think that's a good idea because >> here 14 this is me taking a big >> on top of that this is my ID you know what I'm saying it's my stuff on top that I'm still so when I had came in here they had said >> so you were you were told what >> be 18y old >> they they told me to come they had drove me all the way down here gave me that yes gave me that and told me was go in there and say that you want to car down for 100 I mean for $0. >> Okay. Well, how did you think that that was a good idea? Are you going to work? >> Exactly. >> Well, I I have a job, but I have I I raised my grandma. Like, I literally take care of her. >> She insisted it was somebody else's idea and somebody else told her to do it. However, she didn't even say who that person was. Either way, she still committed the crime regardless if she did it on her own free will or was ordered by someone else. So, >> you knew that you coming in here with a fake ID to try to buy a car. >> Not buy it. >> Not buy it. Then what? >> I wasn't going to buy it. >> It was zero down. I was going to try to see if I was going to get approved for it. So, >> okay. You're going to try to get approved for it. And if you got approved, then what? >> Um, nothing. >> You going to walk out the door? >> I was just >> You going to try to get the car? >> No, I couldn't. I I can't drive the car. I ain't driving it. But I was going to see if I could get approved then. I was going to come back, you know, next day and time. Well, whatever they wanted to do. But I I was just trying to see if I could get approved for a car. >> You're 18 years old? >> Yes. >> Have you tried this before? >> Nope. It's my first ever time experience ever doing something like this. >> You been arrested before? >> Nope. >> Even as a kid? I mean, that's a sponge or seal, I should say. No, >> this is very nerve-wracking for me. So, I had >> sto. >> No, I just got these the other day from my auntie. I just kept the tag on there just to show people I got something that I don't know why we do that, but that's what we do. We'll keep the tags on our stuff just show people how much it cost her. >> The officer pressed her on where she'd gotten the license. Eventually, she said it had been given to her by the same people who dropped her off at the dealership. The more she spoke, the more she revealed a scheme that was much bigger [music] than a one-person operation. >> Who made that? >> Um, I know the person who had had it made. I I know who that is and I know their Instagram. And yes, I would be a snitch. I don't care. >> Who made it? >> Um, his name is Instagram. >> You know his real name at all? >> Um, no. >> No, you don't. >> I don't know what he look like. >> Nope. I know his number. >> What's his number? >> It's in my phone. >> All right. >> But I can show you the >> Why'd you guys decide to come down on a ride? >> Um, this is where they took me. I had no clue there was like I never had any clue that we was going this far. So when I looked at my location I'm like why is we going all the way to a >> Yeah. >> This is far as hell. >> Yeah. The officer returned to the dealership and spoke with the staff again to gather more details. That's when he learned that LA hadn't just presented a fake ID. She had also shown them falsified insurance documents for the vehicle, adding another layer to the scam. >> LA, tell me about these insurance documents. >> Huh? >> They sent that to me. They showed me. >> They sent it to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, you didn't come up with them yourself? Was it the same person that t for person sent you these things? >> Uh quite a lot. >> Okay. >> They're up in Cleveland now. The state person >> or you hang out with them in person? >> Well, this is actually my second time meeting them. They shouldn't be that far. Not too far from here cuz they the ones who dropped me off and was waiting. >> [laughter] >> This is so [laughter and gasps] [snorts] Lala was arrested and charged with forgery and false identification, offenses that are often treated as felonies. [music] At just 18, a stupid mistake had changed LA's life forever. On June 24th, 2025, officers were called to a bank over a suspect known as Fedora Man, who tried to withdraw $25,000. But before he could, employees noticed the ID appeared to be fake and discreetly called 911. But when officers tried questioning him, he refused to talk. >> Yeah. We're going to head back to the precinct and go online. >> All right. Will you mind taking him for me? >> Yeah. >> You have anything in your pockets? Anything like that? Any weapons or anything like that? So, you're going to be able to get in the back of this car. Uh, >> so that stuff I'll have to take cuz you can't take that in the back of the car. >> Yeah. >> Is that Bluetooth? >> Yeah. I I can take it out. >> Yeah. Where's your phone? >> You got a car out there? >> No. >> How'd you get here? >> Uber. >> Okay. >> Yeah. His outfit was seriously a statement. If he was trying to not draw attention to himself, he was not going about it the right way. The officer warned him he had one chance to provide his real name. But again, he gave a false one. At that point, he was just racking up more and more charges. >> Hello. Thank you. >> My name is Detective Trump already introduced myself to the jail. We're at the uh sorry the He was at the jail. Where were we? At a bank. >> Yes. >> Yes. So this is Detective Dial. Um so did he tell you if you were under arrest or not? >> No. >> No. Oh, you are. Um just so you're aware, >> sir. Do you have an ID? Your own ID? No. Whose ID is this? [snorts] Well, I mean, that's your picture, honestly. But I'm just trying to figure out exactly. I mean, obviously, we're here for a reason, right? >> You know, this is a decent, but pretty clear fake. We see him all the time. The bank sees that stuff all the time. You can understand why they called. >> Officers found out that he had been trying to access a $25,000 line of home equity using the fake ID. Institutions like banks are trained to spot false identification and forge documents, so it was certainly not the smartest place to try to use it. What about this? Is this >> That's fake, too, right? >> You can be honest with me. I mean, we're at the point where we can just be honest with each other. You know, I I I wasn't sure if he told you or not. That's why I let you know these are clear fakes. We are here already, and I just wanted you to be as honest with me as possible because that looks a hell of a lot better for you in the long run. If you're [music] you come clean with me and tell me everything that's going on, I think there's a lot more going on and I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. I just want to talk about all that stuff and if [music] you know it it's something that we can do later. We do it a lot. You know, I can [music] do a case file at the end and I can tell the DA's office, you know, you know, he was honest. He owned up to everything, apologetic, sympathetic to everything. And that looks a lot better when the DA's office is looking at stuff. lie to me and they're not trying to help you at all." >> The officer made it clear that he believed the operation was much bigger than the suspect was letting on. From his reaction, he obviously didn't think it was his first time trying to scam a bank. It turned out he bought the fake ID on the dark web and met the seller in Walgreens to collect it. >> You obviously present yourself very well when you go to these banks and probably helps you when you get there. Um, do you do have you done this before? Have you ever gone to any other banks or anything like that? >> Not really. No. >> No. Okay. Um, what about Did you you didn't go anywhere else today? >> No. >> Yesterday? >> No, I stayed in my hotel yesterday. >> Okay. Have you been to any other United Community Banks in the Atlanta area? >> Not that I'm aware of. >> No. Okay. This is a guy you met at Walgreens. >> Yeah, it was a guy. >> A guy. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian? >> Hispanic. >> Hispanic guy. >> Do you know what kind of Hispanic? >> Uh, I think Puerto Rican. >> Do you know his name? >> No, we don't really go by names. [music] >> What did you call him? >> Chief. Chief. When officers pressed him for more information about other people who were involved, he claimed that he deleted all the information from his phone, insisting that officers wouldn't find anything if they searched it. >> You obviously present yourself well. You obviously have done this before. Uh because nobody just goes into a bank with that kind of confidence and that good of a fake ID and tries to get stuff off of someone's ID or even know to go to the dark web to pay $500 to somebody to get the info to create the IDs to do all this stuff. So, I want you to try and elaborate a little more and be a little more honest with me when you tell me you've never done this before. >> I mean, I've done it in the past, but >> when was the last time you did this? [snorts] >> Or actually, let me modify my question. When is the last time you got arrested for doing something like this? >> Um, the end of last year. >> He'd already been arrested for the same crime less than a year before. When officers dug deeper, they found out it was actually the beginning of the year. It makes you wonder how many times he actually got away with it. >> So, how did you get into this? >> How did you find out about this? [snorts] >> Did some research, use Google, how to make money, >> how to scam people. I need you to understand something. Like I like [snorts] I get this is a quick buck for you and you try to to turn your own life around, but you [ __ ] people's up when you do this. >> That that's plain and simple, >> right? >> I believe that there's a lot more or other people involved because you've been seemingly very honest with us. You've told me all about that. You admitted to that. You admitted to doing stuff yesterday. payment, everything at the hotel and you're still shaking like a leaf >> as far as you're not worried about any retaliation, anything like that, giving up any names. You didn't think somebody's if you give somebody's name, they're going to get you or whatever. >> I know they will. >> So, there is other people involved. >> I mean, I can't believe I look by myself. >> We know that.
