Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner was scammed out of $240,000 in a banking fraud scheme, according to an investigation by Twin Cities police.
In an affidavit obtained by The Minnesota Star Tribune, Turner received a call in February from an individual impersonating a JPMorgan Chase banker, claiming that someone was attempting to impersonate him and execute a transfer at a bank branch in Arizona. The caller directed Turner to send $120,000 to two separate business accounts to thwart the theft attempt. Turner obliged.
