Colorado Springs police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two women who are suspects in credit-card fraud along the Front Range.
The women, both in their mid-20s and neatly dressed, enter banks and present fraudulently obtained credit cards to tellers and ask for a cash advance. As the teller begins to process the request, one of the women uses a cellphone to supposedly call the card issuer “for an override code” to approve the advance.
The woman instead calls a pharmacy and gets a prescription fill number and hangs up. She then hands the phone to the teller, instructs her to hit the redial button, and the teller hears a recording that “announces a verification code.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7000.
