February 28th, 2009 Rob Douglas

A woman who used to work for CitiBank will now spend two years in prison for aggravated identity theft and bank fraud.

A federal judge in Jacksonville handed down 26-year-old Isla Brumfield’s sentence Thursday. According to court documents, Brumfield had worked in the Customer Service Sales Department at CitiBank.

Prosecutors said that in her position, she used a computer to access both credit card account numbers and the personal identification information associated with CitiBank credit card accounts. They said that in December 2007 and January 2008, Brumfield assisted in a scheme to use compromised personal information to obtain a CitiBank credit card. According to investigators, one of Brumsfield’s associates then used the fraudulently obtained credit card to withdraw cash from ATMs throughout Duval County.
