ATM Scam Masters Face Felony Charges | San Diego News

Two LA dudes, Sergio Romero and Franklin Florez, are facing felony charges for a brazen ATM scam targeting Wells Fargo customers—especially older adults—where they swapped real debit cards for fakes while victims entered their PINs. Patrolling bank lots for up to 45 minutes, they’d strike fast, stealing cash before victims noticed. The scheme unraveled in May after Sheriff’s reports; fake cards looked identical, leaving victims unaware until it was too late. Both men pleaded not guilty to robbery and grand theft, with court next in September. A stark warning: always shield your keypad, watch your surroundings, and trust your gut when something feels off.
