County Woman Charged With Fraud
A 64-year-old woman who now resides in Orange County has been charged with defrauding about $16,000 from Commerce Bank of Kansas City, the FBI said.
Valentine Nermon, who now lives in Westminster, Calif., was charged in a one-count indictment returned Monday by a federal grand jury in Kansas City.
Nermon allegedly committed the fraud between February and November, 1987, by forging a former business associate’s name on company checks and through double billing of customers, said Robert Davenport, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Kansas City.
The associate was the only person authorized to write checks on the account, he said.
The indictment also alleges that Nermon converted the proceeds from double billing of customers to her personal use.
Nermon was expected to appear voluntarily in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Davenport said.
