INCIDENT SUMMARY
ON JANUARY 23, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 1018 HOURS I WAS REQUESTED TO MEET WITH A VICTIM OF AN
IDENTITY THEFT CASE AT THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM POLICE DEPARTMENT LOCATED AT 246 SEA RD, GULF

FLORIDA DRIVERS LICENSE MR. ROBERT P. MEISEL. MR. MEISEL'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE IS LOCATED AT 3111

MR. MEISEL PROVIDED ME SEVERAL DOCUMENTS ALONG WITH A VERBAL STATEMENT. IN SUMMARY MR.
MEISEL STATED THAT HE WAS A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT AS HIS PERSONAL VANGUARD PRIME MONEY
MARKET FUND ACCOUNT WAS COMPROMISED. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER IS IDENTIFIED AS 09904934419. IN
REVIEWING THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS IT APPEARS THAT THE UNKNOWN SUBJECT/SUSPECT HAD
UTILIZED A TECHNIQUE KNOWN AS "WASHING A CHECK". INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT A
SUBJECT/SUSPECT IDENTIFIED AS ODALYA M. ARIZMENDI HAD SOMEHOW OBTAINED THE VICTIMS CHECK
AND FRAUDULENTLY ALTERED/CHANGED PERTINENT INFORMATION. IN THIS CASE THE TRUE PAY TO THE
ORDER OF AND THE AMOUNT IN DOLLARS WERE ALTERED. THE SUBJECT/SUSPECT HAD FRAUDULENTLY
ENDORSED THE CHECK DATED 12/17/2018. THE SUSPECT/SUBJECT CHANGED THE VALUE OF THE CHECK TO
THE SUM OF 2.000.00 DOLLARS. VANGARD UTILIZES WELLS FARGO BANK.
THE SYNOPSIS OF THE TRANSACTION IS AS FOLLOWS. THIS ENTIRE TRANSACTION TOOK PLACE IN NEW
YORK CITY, STATE OF NEW YORK. MR. ROBERT MEISEL AND HIS WIFE MRS. JOANNE GOLDEN UTILIZED HIS
VANGARD ACCOUNT CHECK NUMBER 3541 TO MAKE A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT. THE CHECK WAS WRITTEN
ON 12/1/2018 AND ORIGINALLY MADE OUT TO CHASE CARD SERVICES. THE CHASE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT
WAS IN MRS. GOLDEN'S NAME. THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF ACCOUNT IS 4303. THE AMOUNT WAS ORIGINALLY
FOR THE SUM OF 3,934.74 DOLLARS MRS. GOLDEN PLACED THIS ENVELOPE ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL
OUTGOING MAIL WHILE IN NEW YORK CITY. MRS. GOLDEN ALERTED HER HUSBAND THAT THE MAIL HAD
BEEN COMPROMISED. IN REVIEW OF HIS VANGARD ACCOUNT THE FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION WAS
FOUND.
MR. MEISEL HAS NOTIFIED VANGARD OF THE FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION AND HAS FILED AN AFFIDAVIT OF
CHECK FRAUD WITH WELLS FARGO. MR. MEISEL WAS INSTRUCTED BY WELLS FARGO TO REPORT THIS
INCIDENT TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WITHIN HIS PRIMARY RESIDENCE. AS I INDICATED EARLIER
THIS REPORT ALL THE TRANSACTIONS HAD OCCURRED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF GULF STREAM, FL.
MR. MEISEL UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THIS REPORT IS FOR DOCUMENTATION ONLY AND NO
FURTHER INVESTIGATION WILL BE TAKEN BY OUR AGENCY. I PROVIDED MR. MEISEL A CASE REPORT
