$41,000 Drained From Woman’s PNC Bank Account – And Her Daughter Is Now a Suspect: Report

A woman in Pennsylvania is accused of abusing family ties to steal large sums of cash from her mother’s PNC bank account for personal use.

Grove City Police just arrested 55-year-old Lynn Dewey following a bank fraud investigation, reports 21 WFMJ.

According to the criminal complaint, the senior care provider Quality Life Services contacted authorities after Dewey’s 80-year-old mother, who is unable to care for herself and make financial decisions, lost a substantial amount in her bank account.

The facility’s administrators say that the bank statements from December 2023 to present show that Dewey, who had access to the account, transferred funds using the peer-to-peer money transfer service Cash App.

They also say that the mother has over $16,000 in patient liability, with no payments made since January. Medicaid likewise denied medical assistance due to the old woman’s reported income.

The police say that the suspect admitted using Cash App to move money from the PNC bank account and used the funds to purchase groceries and gas, pay personal credit card bills and send money to relatives.

Dewey says she used $41,671.78 for personal expenses. She is now facing charges for financial exploitation of an older adult and theft.
