Federal prosecutors have charged another person in connection with the "parking lot scam" targeting Navy Federal Credit Union customers, marking the latest development in a fraud scheme that has victimized hundreds of people in recent years in the Hampton Roads region.
The scheme involves suspects approaching victims near Navy Federal branches, often targeting military-aged males. Using what prosecutors describe as "deceit and intimidation," the suspects obtain victims' cell phones and transfer money from their online mobile accounts in various ways.
