Atlantic Beach, FL (November 14, 2018) – Two men have been arrested in Atlantic Beach after they engaged in a credit card theft scheme to scam individuals out of their money. The duo, identified as Alvaro Acosta and Obed Cardoza, would work together to open up credit cards in homeowner’s names and then track the delivery truck and swipe the packages from their front doors.

After they scammed the individuals, the duo would then go to Best Buy locations and charge for items. Altogether, they purchased about $11,000 worth of items. The homeowner was notified that fraud was noted on their account, which is when the victim told the company that they never opened a credit card.

Police were able to track down the men and followed them, eventually stopping their vehicle. In doing so, they were able to find out that other credit cards were opened under the names of others in the area.

The two have been arrested for the credit card theft scheme.
