On or about December 15, 2025, Brooklyn Center police responded to a check fraud call that originated from a Wells Fargo bank located in Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

This was not the person who gave Victim [NAME REDACTED]. On the check itself it was made out to Victim [NAME REDACTED].
