The first personal loan was done at the TFCU 4947 Highway 58 location for $15,000 and it was accepted and cashed out before the bank realized it was fraudulent. The male suspect used an Alabama ID which came back to a white male and is a victim of identity theft because the suspect also used his Social Security number to apply for the loan.
