Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Investigating $846,000 Fraud Scheme Targeting School Board

“The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is actively investigating a sophisticated fraud scheme that targeted the Citrus County School Board (CCSB), resulting in fraudulent transfers totaling $846,864.86.“

“CCSB officials became aware of the fraud when a trusted vendor reported that an expected payment for a construction project had not been received. The school board’s review confirmed that the payment had been made, but it was later discovered that a fraudulent party had impersonated the vendor’s email and provided a falsified account number. This type of cyber fraud is known as business email compromise (BEC). “

“Within days of launching the investigation, the USSS successfully identified and froze $779,604.00 in two separate bank accounts located outside of Florida. These funds were later seized. Efforts are ongoing to recover the remaining $67,260.86. Investigators currently believe that the suspect is operating outside of Florida and has no known ties to the CCSB. “
