Man Allegedly Drains $45,000 From Customers At Three US Banks Using Only His Smartphone: Report
Authorities say a man in Miami successfully drained over $45,000 from customers at multiple US banks using only his smartphone.
Jordan Janvier was arrested in Florida and has been extradited to Nebraska, accused of deploying a so-called “smishing” scam to trick bank customers into revealing their account information, reports the Omaha-based news station WOWT.
Police say Janvier sent fraudulent texts mimicking bank fraud alerts.
Victims then provided their bank account details, which allowed him to access their accounts and transfer funds to himself.
Janvier allegedly flew to Nebraska to ensure his phone was not flagged for making the malicious transactions out of state.
Investigators say they traced Janvier back to Miami using security camera footage.
The targeted banks have covered the losses for affected customers.
Meanwhile, Janvier remains in Douglas County Jail on $250,000 bond, with 10% required for release.
