WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Texas man accused of possessing dozens of counterfeit credit cards has pleaded guilty to federal bank and wire fraud charges in Sherman County.
The Salina Journal (https://bit.ly/1efQljV ) reports 29-year-old Justin R. Bennett pleaded guilty to several charges including bank fraud, wire fraud and using an embossing machine to create counterfeit credit cards.
The office of U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a news release that Bennett was arrested in September in Sherman County. The release says officers seized 47 counterfeit credit cards, an embossing machine, thousands of blank credit cards and other materials used to create counterfeit cards.
Authorities say Bennett used the counterfeit cards to rent vehicles, obtain cash advances and purchase items that he sold online.
Bennett’s sentencing is set for Sept. 14.
