SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) - Five men are facing charges in what prosecutors say is a bank scam.
The men were arrested by the Macomb Area Computer Enforcement team last week. They are accused of stealing thousands of dollars in a scam known as the "Bank Lick."
The scam works by having a leader and a gang of what's known as "recruiters" who find people looking to make fast, easy money. The recruiters persuade them to give up their ATM cards and personal identifications numbers, then deposit phony checks into their accounts. Large cash withdrawals are then made before the the banks discover the checks are fake.
The five suspects have been arraigned in 41-A District Court in Shelby Township. They are listed below, along with what their accused role is, the charges they face, and what their bond was set at.
