An Axton woman faces federal charges of stealing more than $109,000 through wire fraud.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Sheila Hairston used her position at GSI Commerce Call Center to send money to her personal account, from money intended for GSI customers' credit card accounts. A federal grand jury indicted Hairston on 26 counts of wire fraud.
Investigators believe the money moving started in April of 2006 and went through April of 2008. The feds allege Hairston "would access GSI customer account information and submit a false refund claim, without the customers’ authorization... then divert the fraudulent refunded monies to her personal checking account," according to the news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Investigators believe Hairston made 190 fraudulent transactions.
If convicted on all counts, Hairston faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and/or a fine of up to $250,000 for each count.
