A Florida man has been charged with defrauding a Wells Fargo customer out of $20,000 by posing as a bank employee.
Kevon Christopher-Ky’Marley Shaw is accused of repeatedly calling the victim in September 2025 and posing as “Steven Fenton” from Wells Fargo’s fraud department, reports Tamarac Talk.
Police said Shaw provided the victim’s account details, assuring him that his bank account was at risk of theft.
The 23-year-old allegedly told the victim that in order to protect his money in the account, he had to withdraw $20,000 and give the money to the courier. The victim withdrew $20,000 from the Wells Fargo branch on North Dixie Highway in Fort Lauderdale and gave it to a courier who arrived at his home.
Shaw allegedly tried to steal a large amount of money from the victim and called her several times over several days. Suspicious, the victim contacted the police, who launched an investigation.
Investigators have launched an operation to catch the fraudster. They told the victim to arrange some money and check what happened.
Using subpoenas and digital records, including Uber credentials, phone numbers and financial accounts, investigators say they linked the scheme to Shaw, who was arrested on March 27.
He is out on bail after posting a $30,000 bond.
