So, I I'm not really sure what's going on. Obviously, I'm the only one here. So, I still need somebody to go over there, talk to the bank teller, and I could get some answers for you. But obviously, I can't tell you what's going on if we still haven't talked to a bank teller. So, I just got to get another unit over here. >> And once we do that, we'll try to see what's going on. Okay. >> West Boulevard. >> Why are you laughing? >> Cuz that's weird. Why is it weird? >> Did the telephone call you guys? Mhm. For what? >> That's what we're trying to figure out. No, because I'm black. You >> sure it's not because you're black? >> No, because I'm black. >> I don't think so. >> What's your date of birth? >> October 1st, 1998. >> 98. >> 88. >> 88. So that makes you how old? >> Hm. >> How old do I look? >> I don't know. You look pretty young. So, how old are you now? >> 29. >> 28. 29. >> 29. >> You're born in 1988. You're 29. You look very young. Like a 25. Like, how old do I look? >> 30s. >> 30s. So, you think I'm older than you? >> Damn. I have to go get a facial treatment soon, D. I got to get some Botox saying I look 30. If you're 29 and I'm 30, >> you know some Asian you might look uh you might look older than you age. >> How old are you? >> Me? >> 23. >> Really? >> I'm 23. >> And I can't believe you just called me I'm 30. >> I'm sorry. >> So do I look 30? It's cuz I have a three-year-old. I guess that's what kids do to you. Everyone, they aided you. >> Okay, this officer is going to stand by with you and I'm going to go inside and check on what's going on. >> Okay. Tell me what happened today. >> She came in wanting access to the account and >> this account here. >> Yes. And anytime we pull up an account, if there's warnings or anything on like immediately starts flashing at us and I and my teller needed overrides to get in and once we started reading the notes, it says please call y'all um that she's committed identity theft. She's tried to open multiple accounts with different IEDs. That's just an example of one of the other ones that she >> But that was stuff that's already been done. What did she do today? >> Basically trying to get into this fraudulent account. >> She just tried to get in this account. >> Mhm. >> So this an active account? >> No, it's locked up completely. Yeah. And then she's presented that ID on the back there. >> I open another account with that ID. >> The 1982. >> Yeah. So she was just trying to get access to money today so we don't need >> changing first she's like I need my online banking and you take money out now I need to put money in. She kept saying like all these different things. >> Um but I couldn't do any of it. >> Yeah. So okay >> 43 to 40. Um it appears she came up here and tried to take money out of an account that has already been flagged for frozen and stuff. She has a different ID on the back. That's her tax. >> You do me a favor and get her started on this statement. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> A telephone call was made to the victim whose information was used. >> Hello. >> Hey, how are you doing? Is this Jessica? This is Detective Delgado with Orlando Police Department. >> The what? I'm sorry. >> With the Orlando Police Department. >> Yes, this is her. >> How are you doing? >> I'm okay. Uh, I just got a I got a question for you. Uh, the reason I'm reaching out to you is cuz we're we're out here with a female at a bank, uh, Additions Financial, who, uh, who opened an account here at Additions Financial and has been making withdrawals and deposits into this account. Um, and she presented a Texas driver's license. And on the Texas driver's license, I believe it has your information. Um, >> so yeah. So pretty much I guess this chick from what I'm understanding cuz I just got called out for this um is she she opened an account at Additions Financial in Orlando actually in Point Sienna um back like in December of 2023. Um since then she's been doing like a couple little transactions. She really hasn't done anything major yet like deposit some crazy ridiculous uh amount of uh like a fraudulent check or anything yet. Um, but that's usually what they don't do that usually till after the account is groomed a little bit. It seemed like they were getting ready to do it now. Um, so I guess my question to you is did you give anyone permission to have any of your information on the Texas driver's license? That's not your photo. >> Oh, no I did not. >> No. Okay. Um, and then with that being said, are do you want this person to, you know, are you willing to press charges against this person for for having an ID with your information on it? I sure will. >> Okay. Um, and you didn't give anyone permission to have your information, right? Like you didn't give anyone at all permission to put your information on a Texas driver's license. >> Oh, I don't know anybody in Florida. >> Yeah, it's just we're right now we're in Orlando, Florida, but I guess she's been around cuz she opened the account in Point Sienna according to the bank. Um, >> yeah. >> Okay. Okay. Have you ever been read your rice before? She read my rights. The young lady read my rights. >> She did? >> Mhm. >> Okay. She's not here. I don't know if she did or she didn't. I'm just going to read you them just to verify that I know that they've been read to you. >> Okay. >> Okay. Other than today, have they ever been read to you before in the past? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, so if you have any questions, just ask me. All right. >> Okay. >> You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Mhm. >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? >> You have the right to talk to a lawyer before and during questioning. Do you understand? I just say yes. If you cannot afford a law and want one, one will be provided for you before questioning without charge. Do you understand? >> You want me to move your hair to the side for you? Yes, please. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Is it all over? >> How long How long is this going to take? >> Uh I Let me get through this and then we can keep going. All right. Has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to talk to me? >> No. >> No. Okay. Can we talk about what's going on? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um so before I got here, what what have they told you? What have they talked to you about? What do you know? I don't know all of it. I went to the bank, >> okay, >> trying to see if I could deposit some money onto my debit card and I come outside. They Well, first off, the lady took too long to even open back my account cuz >> I've been calling the bank >> to see what was going on with my bank. >> Okay. >> Came up here to try and talk to them about my bank and they said, "Oh, I got to wait 5 minutes." Which is like weird to me. So now I decided I had to go. I want to use the bathroom or whatever. >> Mhm. >> Now I need to pee. But now um they're telling me that how as I come outside this young lady then then proceeds to tell me I'm going to be detained >> and I still don't know what's going on. >> You said young lady, an officer. Yes. Okay. So at this point when you come outside you're not dealing with the bank anymore. You come outside and there's an officer outside and she detains you. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What happens after that? after that I don't know like she all she's telling me she don't know what's going on and she didn't tell me exactly what's going on just lead to this this situation >> okay how long have you been banking with additions financial >> um I started banking with them about the beginning of this year so like early like January this year maybe late of like maybe December of last year or for sure it was 2024 or you're not too I think it was December >> the ending of December. >> Okay. Um, >> no, no, I'm lying. So, yeah, it was around >> November. >> November. >> Around November. >> So, November last year? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Where did you open the account at? Did you open it here? Did you open it? >> No, I opened it in Cassmi. >> In CMI. Do you live in Cassmi? >> No, my aunt lived in Cassmi. >> Okay. So, were you saying with your aunt? Why would you open the account in CMI? No, I was saying that with my aunt that. >> And when you open the account, was this the ID that you presented? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, is your first name Jessica? >> Jessica News. >> Okay. What's your date of birth? >> Uh, October 1st. >> What year? >> 1988. >> Okay. How tall are you? >> I'm 5'6. >> 5'6. Okay. How long have you had this driver's license? >> Um, about 2 years. >> 2 years. Okay. Uh, since you've opened the account here at Additions, uh, have you been the money going in and out? Have you been making any deposits? >> So, that's exactly what I was trying to talk to them about. I didn't The account has been acting weird. Like when I logged in, they say that uh it was too much >> uh too much time. So, I've been trying to log into the account. So, when I >> like online, >> yes, that's why I came up here to talk to them about. >> Okay. Uh, so since November and now Have you been getting like direct deposits in the account? Do you use the account regularly or? >> No, I haven't been using the account regularly. The only time I try cuz I was going to put some money on on the account right now and >> Okay. >> I couldn't do that because they was telling me that they was trying to open finish um with the account. >> Okay. >> Uh or you going to deposit cash or check? >> I was going to deposit cash. >> Okay. So, do you have cash on you? >> Yes, it's in my wallet. >> Okay. How much how much cash is it? >> It's 100. >> 100. Mhm. >> Okay. Okay. So, you're coming to deposit 100 bucks cuz you want to put money in the account. >> That debit card, have you used it at all? >> Yes, I have used it a couple times. >> Okay. Uh if how much do you know what the account balance is right now in the account? How much you got in the account? I can move it to the software. >> Uh about $25 right now. >> $25. >> Yeah. >> In total, how much have you put in and out of that account? Do you know? >> You know, I haven't put in anything, but since the debit card has been since the account has been acting up, I haven't really put anything in that account. Okay. Uh, have you tried to open an account at Addition Financial anywhere else? >> No. >> No. Okay. Um, [Music] do you recognize that ID? >> No. >> With your photo on it? >> No. >> You don't recognize that? So, according to Auditions Financial, they said you tried to open another account with that same ID with your photo on it, with a different ID, different name. You know anything about that? I mean, it's here, you know, the same photo as that photo, right? And which is why we're here, right? Now, if I told you that I talked to Miss Jess on the phone before coming in and talking to you, would you believe me? >> Or do you think I'd be lying to you? >> I don't know. >> What do you think? I've been truthful with you this whole time. I don't think you've been very truthful with me. Okay. So, we can be truthful about what's going on or we can continue to lie about it. And I got to notate that you continue to lie to me about it. They called me out here to speak to you for a reason. Okay? I dealt with cases like this plenty. I've been doing this for a couple years, investigating just this kind of stuff alone. All right. I know you're not miss okay, but I want to know what's really going on to see if there's anything that I can do for you. There's two other guys out here that are waiting for you in your car, right? >> That's not my car. >> It's not your car. Okay. Well, two guys out here waiting in a car for you that are stopped around the corner that you can't see right now. >> Okay. So, at this point, I think your story would have worked for someone who works at Addition Financial, but I think you and I both know law enforcement has a little bit more information than what Addition's Financial is going to have. Okay. If this isn't you, why would you tell me this is you? I can tell you usually the person that goes in and opens the account and makes the withdrawals and deposits ain't the person who's making all the money in the end, right? When that big $20,000 check hits mobile deposit or ATM and $20,000 come out, I'm sure you ain't getting all of that. You're getting a piece of it for what you did, but you ain't getting it all. Now, I know you're the little fish here, and I'm trying to give you an opportunity to talk to me about what's going on. Okay. But if you're not willing to talk to me and not willing to be truthful with me, there's not much more that I can do for you. Okay. So, what's going on? >> Um, you're right. >> What's going on? I got a general idea of what's going on, right? But you're the one who's who's going to know the details about what's going on. And that's what I want to know. That's the only way I'm will I can I can do anything for you is if I know the actual details. >> The overall picture. That's the overall picture for everybody's story. You know what I mean? >> How can I help you? How can I put in my narrative that you were truthful with me >> and tell the state attorney later on, hey, she was truthful with me rather than lying to me and continue to lie in my face. It's going to be as long as you want it to be or as quick as you want it to be, right? >> I mean, this is going to take longer eventually. >> I mean, it it could it's going to be long. I'd be lying to you if I if if I didn't tell you it wasn't long. But it can be extra hours or it can be and and that's the only way we can hurry this process up is if we be truthful with one another. Okay. >> Have a Florida ID. >> Where's your ID out of? >> Uh I believe that. >> Well, where like what state is it out of? Is that Florida, Texas? Georgia? >> Yes. >> Are you from Georgia? No, I'm from New York. >> You're from where? >> New York. >> Okay. Did you ever live in Georgia? >> I still live here. >> Okay. So, what what brought you down here? >> Um, this >> this Okay. I figured that, but I wanted to hear from you. Uh, is someone employing you? Are you getting paid to do this? >> I'm getting paid, right? >> Okay. How much are you getting paid? 500 >> 100,000 >> 5,000 After what though? >> You're not getting 5,000 just for opening an account. What has to be done before you get to 5,000? >> Just this. >> Huh? >> Justice. >> Just open it and then eventually they'll hit the account for whatever they hit it for and then they'll break you off the five or they usually break you off the five up front. >> Uh, break it off five up front. >> They break it off up front. Okay. Is it these guys that you with >> or they just working? >> Just driving. They just working just like like you working. >> Do you know them? >> Personally, no. >> Just through through the job. >> No, they they're not a part of like I just asked them to drive me off to the um gas to the bank, but they have nothing to do with it. >> Okay. So, they got nothing to do with it. You just know them. Y'all not friends or whatever. Y just know each other. >> No, we friends, but they not they don't have anything to do with >> But what's going on in here? You just ask them, "Hey, give me a ride." >> Yeah. Okay. Um, whose car is that? That car that they in. >> Uh, the person that was driving, uh, girlfriend. >> Girlfriend. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And you were sitting in the front passenger seat. >> Mhm. >> Is there anything else in that car? >> Uh, >> that belongs to this. Is there anything that's involved with this addition financial thing? >> No. >> My debit card and and credit card is in there. So, >> okay. >> Um, what happened to my uh friends? >> They're still over there. I got to go talk to them. cash app. But if you're saying it got nothing to do with them, >> I'mma talk to them and see what they got to say. Right. I can't take every everything you say from face value. You already lied to me once. >> Right. You said I just want to make sure I get your cards though. Cash App and what's the other one? >> It's a Cash App and a Fifth Third card. >> A Fifth Third? >> Mhm. >> That's your actual bank. >> Uh Fifth Third. Yes. >> Okay. And that says Fiola Samson on it. >> Yes. >> All right. And now you live in Georgia. Supposed to get paid 5K. How do they pay you the 5K? >> Uh, they was going to pay after this is done, >> but like they cash app you. They sell you. >> No, they was going to give it to me cash. >> Okay. Are they around here? Are they local? >> No, they're not over there. >> Where do they give How do you you meet up with them? >> Uh, usually I meet up with them. >> Where? >> Um, what is it called? >> OBT. They call it OBT. >> OBT. >> Yeah. >> You know where I don't OB? OB is long road. It's long trip. >> You don't know. >> It's probably not even the real address. >> How did you get in contact with these people? How did you start talking to them? >> Uh, I guess because of where I work at. >> Where you work at? >> Um, I have two jobs in Atlanta and one of them it's uh me working in a club. >> Work in a club. Okay. Like a like a stripper or like a a um bottle girl? >> A dancer. >> Dancer. >> What's the other job? >> I work for McDonald's. >> McDonald's. >> Yeah. Don't let nobody know that though. >> So they met you while while you were dancing, while you were working and they missed all that. They cut you, you know, said, "Hey, I get you this deal, whatnot." They how how many of these accounts have you opened for 5K? This the first one? >> This is the first one. Well, this will be the second. >> So, the first one you did, they gave you the 5K. >> No, I didn't. I didn't get it because that one didn't go through. Chang did not go through. >> Okay. So, Chang was the first one. >> Yeah. >> That you tried to put through. >> Yeah, I know it was attempted cuz I talked to him on the phone. It actually didn't go through. >> This one was in Point Sienna. Where did you try to open this one at? >> I think the same area. >> Same area over there. Oh, kissing me. >> Kissing me around there. Yeah, they said, but this was the first one that didn't go through. Then that was the second one that went through and then you were supposed to get the 5K after this.

They live in Georgia or Well, they said they met you here on OBT. >> No, when I Well, I met them out here when I was working in the club. >> Oh, so you're working at a club here on OBT and that's how you met them? >> Yeah. >> So, that was the concept. Do you know them by name or anything? >> No, not their real name. What do you know to them? >> Um, >> I only called him Jay. >> Jay? >> Yeah. >> Is it two guys? Three guys. >> It was just one. >> You're supposed to one guy in it. It goes by Jay. >> Jay, but I don't know his like deal and like what he was doing. >> Yeah. He's probably involved in some other stuff. Obviously, there's piece there's pieces to everything, right? This which is just your This was your piece. His piece is probably something else. Uh, okay. You met J Obt while you were at Dansfield or Samson Georgia DL. How long have you been here in Orlando? >> I've been staying here 6 months and then I just usually move back and forth. >> Okay. And when you're here, are you staying with family in CMI? >> No, I actually would uh have like a Airbnb when I'm like dancing out here. >> Gotcha. Okay.
