Fraud and Forgery

To Whom It May Concern:

We have questions of serious crime to ask you about.

We, Young married couple Group of Church in NJ, recently discovered that person who was handling our charity funds for Orphan house in Tanzania deceived our group and took the money in his pocket. He manipulated and forged Ciitibank Wire Transfer Confirmation in PDF file and sent to us those made-up confirmation PDF files as if the Missionary in Tanzania sent to us. Even set-up a Yahoo email account with Missionary�s name and sent us Greeeting and Thanks emails as if they emailed.. Total of 4 wire transfer were to be sent to them and Amount is about $6000.

We would like to know see if this Theft by Deception can give this person a good legal lesson or not.

ID theft can be applied in this case?

And Forgery can be applied in this case?

Please, advise us�

Thanks

God�s way

Re: Fraud and Forgery

Taking funds entrusted to you is also known as embezzlement. Theft by deception is another description. Both are third degree crimes. You should contact the police in the town where you are located to file criminal complaints.
