Kevon Christopher-Ky’Marley Shaw {BSO}
A Wells Fargo impersonation scam has claimed another victim in Broward County, with investigators alleging a $20,000 fraud scheme involving fake bank calls and couriers.
According to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office affidavit, Kevon Christopher-Ky’Marley Shaw, 23, of Lauderhill, is accused of posing as a Wells Fargo representative as part of an elaborate scheme to defraud a victim out of thousands of dollars.
Investigators say the victim began receiving repeated phone calls in September 2025 from a man identifying himself as “Steven Fenton” from Wells Fargo’s fraud department. The caller appeared credible, allegedly providing accurate account details and claiming the victim’s funds were at risk as part of a federal investigation.
Under pressure, the victim was instructed to withdraw $20,000 in cash from a Wells Fargo branch on North Dixie Highway in Fort Lauderdale. Believing the request was legitimate, the victim removed the funds and handed the cash over to a courier who arrived at his residence shortly after.
The scheme didn’t stop there.
Authorities say the suspect continued contacting the victim, attempting to repeat the process and placing dozens of additional calls over several days. Growing suspicious, the victim eventually contacted law enforcement, prompting an investigation.
Detectives later coordinated a controlled operation in which the victim arranged another supposed cash handoff. When a courier arrived to pick up what he believed was another package, undercover officers intervened and began tracing the operation.
Through subpoenas and digital records – including Uber transaction data, phone numbers, and financial account activity – investigators linked the scheme to Shaw. Evidence showed the use of ride-share drivers to unknowingly transport cash packages, as well as bank accounts allegedly tied to the suspect.
A similar case resulted in the arrest of a suspect by the Coral Springs Police Department last week for similar charges. Though that version involved the victim depositing to a debit card, not a courier physically picking up the funds.
Wells Fargo has attempted to make it clear that it will never request customers to withdraw cash as part of an investigation or send couriers to collect money.
Shaw was arrested on March 27 and has since been released from the Broward County Main Jail after posting a $30,000 bond.
