VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — This week, Attorney General Lynn Fitch and U.S. Attorney Baxter Kruger announced the 48-month sentence of Guy Gerral Georges, 32, of Hialeah, Florida, for one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. The case was investigated by General Fitch’s Cyber Fraud Task Force with assistance from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, Brandon Police Department, and U.S. Secret Service, and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District.
“These criminals used sophisticated technology to program fake debit cards, but also PINs and other information conned out of individuals to gain access to their bank accounts,” said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. “We were able to stop this scheme, but it serves as a good reminder to guard your financial and other personal information.

A well-informed consumer is a con artist’s worst nightmare.”…
