Prosecutors have charged three individuals with multiple felonies for allegedly cloning EBT cards to steal thousands from at least 10 victims in Alameda County.
The investigation revealed that the accused possessed fraudulent personal information, and the scheme indicated a level of planning and professionalism when it came to cloning EBT cards.
The joint investigation by Fremont police and federal authorities initiated after the suspects were seen using cloned cards at ATMs, leading to the discovery of their sophisticated operation.
EBT cards are integral to public assistance benefits, and the perpetrators knew they were using altered or revoked cards in their theft schemes.
