Neiman Marcus, 2705 W. Big Beaver, 12/5, 2:56 p.m.
LPO reported male subject entered store and presented a check and ID in the name of a female in an attempt to purchase an $87.00 pair of womans boots. The male subject signed the females name on the check. The sale was denied, and the suspect left w/the check and ID. A follow-up call to the bank indicated the account numbers on the check were valid, but the name on the check and ID was not the legitimate account holder.
Complainant discovered unauthorized purchases made in Southfield with her debit card. When she looked, she discovered her card missing.
Complainant reported her credit and debit cards were missing from her purse. When she called to cancel them, she was advised the debit card had been used numerous times. She suspects a family member who was visiting and observed by another family member near her purse; suspect has apparently stolen from other family members in the past.
Complainant reported when he checked his automated credit account record, he discovered someone made a payment on his account using a check that bounced. There were indications of unauthorized charges, as well. Complainant is concerned fraudulent bank accounts may also have been opened using his identity.
