Anchorage Police are investigating a scam where a subject is cloning credit cards.

On December 9, 2009, APD received a report from a woman in Florida who noticed multiple charges to her credit card from Alaskan businesses.  The victim stated she had never lost her credit card, nor had it been out of her possession.

It is unclear how the con-man gained access to the victim’s card number, but when he had that information, he created a phony card, using a different name.  He also had backup identification to match the information he had created on the credit card.  Video surveillance at a local Fred Myer store captured this image of the suspect.

He is described as a dark skinned black male, stocky build, with a receding hairline and dreadlocks.  He was wearing a pink shirt with a silver jacket.

If anyone has information as to the identity of this person, they’re asked to call Anchorage Police Detective Loughman at 786-2448 or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP or submit your tip using this website.
