On Tuesday, authorities in Arizona reported the arrest of a lady from Texas in a fraud case.
Charges of fraud, theft, and identity theft led to the arrest of 64-year-old Maria Rivera in Carrollton, Texas, in early July, as reported by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office.
The case of fraud was initiated by YSCO following a victim’s disclosure of an email hacking incident resulting in an unlawful wire transfer of forty thousand dollars from a bank account in the Prescott region.

Detectives secured a search warrant for Rivera’s arrest and contacted the Carrollton Police Department for assistance based on information that connected him to the receipt of more than $40,000.
Detectives from YSCO were able to apprehend Rivera at her workplace and carry out the search warrant at her apartment with the assistance of the Carrollton Police Department.
According to YSCO, information discovered during the search suggested that this was not Rivera’s sole instance of fraud.
Those cases will be pursued by the Texas authorities. The suspected offenses also spanned state lines, therefore federal officials were informed.
