Woman indicted with bank fraud
A federal grand jury has indicted a woman for allegedly gaining access to her mother’s bank savings account through fraud and obtaining $12,208 for her own use.
The indictment, which was filed Thursday, charged Janee Marie Famy Babauta with bank fraud.
An initial appearance hearing for Babauta was held Friday.
According to the indictment, between March 20 and April 15, 2019, Babauta provided her mother’s personal identifying information in order to gain access and control of her mother’s Bank of Guam savings account.
Babauta then allegedly converted approximately $12,208 to her own use through online transfers, transactions, and purchases.
The indictment seeks to forfeit to the U.S. government a money judgment representing the amount of proceeds obtained as a result of the offense.
