Regina Marie Jenkins Faces Major Charges in $300,000 Multi-Bank Fraud Scheme

Authorities have arrested a North Carolina woman for her alleged role in an extensive banking fraud operation that resulted in approximately $300,000 in fraudulent transfers from two major financial institutions. Regina Marie Jenkins, taken into custody by the Raleigh Police Department, is now facing multiple felony charges related to the coordinated scheme that compromised both Wells Fargo and PNC Bank security systems.

Wells Fargo Debit Card Fraud: The $83,119.90 Operation

According to law enforcement documents, Jenkins is accused of executing a sophisticated debit card fraud scheme targeting Wells Fargo in March. The prosecution alleges that she opened multiple business checking accounts specifically designed to facilitate the fraudulent operation. Her method involved depositing cash into these accounts and then systematically linking and unlinking various debit cards across the different accounts—a technique commonly used to obscure transaction trails and avoid detection by bank monitoring systems. The specific loss attributed to this scheme totaled $83,119.90, representing the first major operation in her alleged fraud network.

The $217,000 PNC Bank Conspiracy: Nine Co-Conspirators Involved

A significantly larger conspiracy unfolded in June, when Jenkins reportedly coordinated with nine additional individuals to defraud PNC Bank of approximately $217,000. Legal documents identify her co-conspirators as Alaysa Sharpe, Terrence Johnson, Jaquan Rick, Segoia Wiggins, Maliki Parker, Martavious Avent, Talvious Jenkins, Jazmin Hicks, and Brianna Johnson. All individuals are charged with the felony offense of obtaining property by false pretenses—a legal statute that applies when individuals use deception to acquire money or assets belonging to financial institutions or other parties.

Legal Status and Court Proceedings

Following her arrest, regina marie jenkins posted bond totaling $10,000 for each charge, securing her temporary release pending trial. She made her initial court appearance at the Wake County Justice Center in early October. The case represents a significant law enforcement success in identifying and prosecuting organized financial fraud networks that target major banking institutions.
