Paycheck Is Gone

A Trion woman said that someone stole money from her son’s account, according to Chattooga County Sheriff’s reports.

Stephanie Sargent said that her son received a text notification that his paycheck was deposited onto his Elite Paycheck Plus! card on Jan. 22. The following day his account went to zero.

” Ms. Sargent contacted the company about the unauthorized charges and they were sent a new card. She advised that the transactions continued to occur through January 27, 2019. Ms. Sargent provided a list of 11 of the transactions that occurred between January 26, 2019, and January 27, 2019, totaling approximately $568,” Deputy Thomas Sainthill reported.
