Police say the 22-year-old man was arrested Monday and faces 97 charges, including 29 counts of fraud over $5,000 and 30 counts of causing another person to act on a forged document. Police allege the man began contacting the victims as early as last April through online shopping and would agree to buy merchandise, usually designer clothes and shoes. Police allege he would meet the victims and pay with fraudulent checks worth more than the agreed purchase price. Police say he then allegedly had victims wire him the difference, making off with the money and merchandise before those he defrauded realized the checks had been held. Police say investigators believe there may be more victims and are asking anyone with more information to come forward.
