Man arrested following scam investigation

A 29-year-old Miramar, Florida man was arrested Thursday as part of a Sheriff’s Office fraud investigation following a traffic stop in which fake credit cards, IDs, phones, computers, and the personal information of others was found.

Jackie Webster faces multiple charges of fraud, forgery, larceny, and counterfeiting.

The Sheriff’s Office stopped a Volkswagen sedan in September 2023 in which Webster was a passenger. The car was unregistered and the tag was not assigned to the vehicle. A search turned up numerous fake credit cards and IDs as well as a printer used to create fake cards. Also found were phones, tablets, and computers — including one computer labeled “scams.”

The investigation showed Webster was also in possession of hundreds of sets of personal identification information such as names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, bank account numbers and bank log-in numbers.

A warrant was obtained for Webster’s arrest and he was booked into jail on Thursday.
