Coral Springs police charge Pompano Beach man after allegedly stealing 40,000 dollars in multi-day bank fraud scam
Coral Springs, Florida – A Pompano Beach man has been charged with a multi-day bank fraud scam that resulted in the theft of $40,000 from a Coral Springs woman, according to local authorities. Juvenson Sudney, 37, faces multiple charges, including grand theft, organized scheme to defraud, and identity theft, following a scam that spanned several days in late September.
The Coral Springs Police Department said the case began on September 25, when the victim received her first of multiple phone calls from someone claiming to be a fraud investigator at Bank of America. According to the police report, the caller told the woman that an unauthorized $300 purchase had been made in West Palm Beach and that a $42,000 wire transfer had been attempted but canceled. She was provided with a fictitious cancellation number to verify the transaction.
Over the following days, the victim said she was contacted several times a day, each time receiving increasingly urgent instructions from the caller. On September 29, she was told there had been another attempt to withdraw money from her account and was instructed to remove $40,000 in cash from her Bank of America account. Police say the caller stayed on the line with her during the entire process, instructing her to place the money in a bag labeled “FDIC” and wait for a car and driver to collect it.
Security footage from the Palm Point apartment complex where the victim lived shows Sudney arriving at the property on the day of the pickup. Using the visitor access system, Sudney requested entry, and later video captured him placing a bag of money into the back of his vehicle after visiting the victim’s apartment building. Investigators said the victim later identified Sudney in a lineup, confirming his involvement.
After the initial withdrawal, the victim said the callers pressured her to withdraw an additional $40,000, claiming it was necessary to prevent further fraud by internal Bank of America employees. The call abruptly ended after she expressed hesitation, and the suspects stopped responding, leaving the victim uncertain about the security of her funds.
Police used security camera footage and license plate readers to identify Sudney’s vehicle at the complex during the incident. Authorities confirmed the Pompano Beach man’s presence at the scene, which allowed investigators to move forward with charges. Sudney was booked into the Broward County Jail, where bond was set at $55,000.
Court records also show that Sudney has a separate grand theft case pending in Broward County Circuit Court. That case involves an October 2025 incident in which he allegedly impersonated an American Express fraud investigator. In that situation, a male victim was contacted about a suspected fraudulent charge and later transferred to a woman also posing as a fraud investigator. The pair instructed the victim to withdraw $40,000 from one Bank of America branch and $15,000 from another, handing over the $55,000 to someone they said was an FDIC investigator.
In that earlier case, the victim was told to withdraw an additional $20,000 and place it inside a black SUV. Suspicious, he hung up on the caller and dialed 911, prompting law enforcement to intervene. Sudney reportedly fled in the vehicle but was followed by the victim and later stopped by Pembroke Pines police on Pines Boulevard.
According to authorities, scams like these often rely on psychological pressure and deception, targeting victims with high-stakes warnings about account fraud. In both cases linked to Sudney, victims were instructed to follow highly specific directions and remained on the phone with the caller while completing transactions, a tactic experts say is common in telephone banking fraud.
The Coral Springs Police Department is urging residents to be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls about bank fraud, stressing that legitimate bank employees will never demand large withdrawals over the phone or instruct customers to place money in a bag for pickup. Authorities recommend contacting banks directly using verified numbers and reporting suspicious calls immediately.
Sudney’s pending cases highlight a broader concern regarding organized fraud schemes that cross city and state lines. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate his activities to determine whether additional victims may exist.
As Sudney awaits trial, local authorities are reminding the public that vigilance and verification are key tools in preventing similar scams, and that cooperating with law enforcement can quickly stop potential losses and bring perpetrators to justice.
